After six decades in Hollywood, James L. Brooks' latest heroine "Ella McCay" is a natural successor to his pioneering star of the small screen, "Mary Tyler Moore".

The Academy award-winning director, screenwriter and producer also tells us about putting his own experience into the 1987 hit "Broadcast News" and how, as co-creator of "The Simpsons", the yellow cartoon family has managed to predict a handful of major world events during its 37-year history.
