Plus in a town such as Los Angeles where movies are king, actors are often starved of the opportunity to get up on stage and perform. Rita Wilson joins Larry for a conversation on AirTalk to speak about where film and theater intersect in Los Angeles. She and husband Tom Hanks are organizing an event to raise money for UCLA's School of Theater Film and Television School. "One Night Only.... with a Little Help from our friends" will feature a one-time presentation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning comedic play "You Can't Take it With You" by George S.
