In a 1994 interview with The Paris Review, Gottlieb described his need to "surrender" to a book. "The more you have surrendered," he said, "the more jarring its errors appear. I read a manuscript very quickly, the moment I get it. I usually won't use a pencil the first time through because I'm just reading for impressions. When I read the end, I'll call the writer and say, I think it's very fine (or whatever), but I think there are problems here and here. At that point I don't know why I think that—I just think it. Then I go back and read the manuscript again, more slowly, and I find and mark the places where I had negative reactions to try to figure out what's wrong. The second time through I think about solutions—maybe this needs expanding, maybe there's too much of this so it's blurring that." Dance For many years Gottlieb was associated with New York City Ballet, serving as a member of its board of directors. He has published many books by people from the dance world, including Mikhail Baryshnikov and Margot Fonteyn. He is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Miami City Ballet. Personal Gottlieb married Muriel Higgins in 1952; they had one child, Roger. In 1969, Gottlieb married Maria Tucci, an actress whose father, the novelist Niccolò Tucci, was one of Gottlieb's writers. They have two children: Lizzie Gottlieb, a film director, and Nicholas (Nicky), who is the subject of one of his sister's documentary films, Today's Man. Legacy 2022 saw the release of a documentary about the collaborations of Gottlieb and writer Robert Caro titled Turn Every Page. It was directed by Gottlieb's daughter, Lizzie Gottlieb. The title comes from advice from then-editor of Newsday, Alan Hathway, had given to Caro as a young reporter on "his first investigative assignment, Hathway 'looked at me for what I remember as a very long time … "Just remember", he said. "Turn every page. Never assume anything. Turn every goddamn page".'" Bibliography Nonfiction books A Certain Style: The Art of the Plastic Handbag 1949-1959 (1988) (Knopf) George
