He arrives expecting to catch up on old times but is instead brought right into the Oval Office to meet with Franklin D. Roosevelt. FDR needs help on his speeches; Will takes the job on the spot. For the next twelve years, Will is at FDR’s side through the worst of the Depression, three reelection campaigns, and World War II.The Yankee Sphinx, inspired by Will Hassett’s real diaries, focuses on the last few years of FDR’s life. The war is raging in Europe and FDR’s good friend, Winston Churchill, begs for America’s help. But Roosevelt knows he can’t bring the country in until it’s ready, an opportunity that won’t arise until the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor in 1941.From Will’s empathetic perspective, we witness FDR managing the Allied military campaign abroad and parrying shots from isolationist politicians at home—all while reckoning with his rapidly deteriorating health. Will and Anna, Roosevelt's daughter, plot an intervention to get him a doctor more up to speed on a new discipline called “cardiology” so the president can maintain his strength and end the war.Elegantly written, bursting with personality, and perfectly capturing life in wartime Washington, The Yankee Sphinx is a marvelous work by one of our most versatile writers.Bio:Mark Frost is an American novelist, screenwriter, director and film producer, best known as a writer for the television series Hill Street Blues and as the co-creator of the television series Twin Peaks. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/west-hollywood/mark-frost-discusses-and-signs-the-yankee-sphinx-an-fdr-novel/100001983583464539 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, health-wellness, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 42.85, max: 42.85, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: West Hollywood - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute - **lat**: 34.0906211 - **long**: -118.3625695 - **full address**: The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, 7936 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Mark Frost discusses and signs The Yankee Sphinx: An FDR Novel - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/e3da8229283c911f0ef1e07c54444be313806f6df2b302c187d03bab26549178-rimg-w1200-h600-dcc1bcab-gmir.jpg?v=1772725013 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Mark Frost discusses and signs The Yankee Sphinx: An FDR Novel being held? - **A:** Mark Frost discusses and signs The Yankee Sphinx: An FDR Novel takes place on Thu, 07 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Thu, 07 May, 2026 at 08:30 pm at The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, 7936 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Mark Frost discusses and signs The Yankee Sphinx: An FDR Novel? - **A:** Tickets for Mark Frost discusses and signs The Yankee Sphinx: An FDR Novel are priced at USD 43 per person.
