Journalist Olivia Nuzzi has spoken out about navigating controversy, coinciding with the release of her new book, 'American Canto.' In a recent interview, Nuzzi shared insights into how she has managed the public scrutiny, while also revealing her cinematic preferences.
Her favorite films include classic 1970s paranoia thrillers such as 'The Parallax View,' 'Klute,' and 'All the President's Men.'

Most surprisingly, she named the Coen brothers' black comedy 'Burn After Reading' as the "best film about Washington ever made."
Nuzzi, who previously developed a satirical drama for AMC, also humorously listed signs that a book rollout might be going awry. She noted receiving an unprompted "I love you" from her agent and losing clients due to recent events.
