Part Three: Talking with Dr. Temple Grandin, Author of "Animals in Translation"

Are you looking forward to this movie that's being made about your life?

Yes. I've actually seen it.

It's done?

Yes, and I've seen it. And it's going to be really good. And Claire Danes is going to play me in the "60s and the "70s when I'm in high school and college. The movie ends in the late "70s, just as I get my career started.

Will this be in the movie theatres?

It's going to be on HBO. It's probably going to come out in the first week in February.

That's pretty exciting! Temple Grandin, the movie star!

Yeah.

What else would is on your To Do list?

Well, keep doing the things I'm doing. I've trained four Ph.Ds and I've got three of them out there working really good in the animal industries so that's good. and I have a fifth one that just started and he's doing fantastic.

At Colorado State University?

Yes, they're students at Colorado State and I'm their major professor.

How can people learn more about your work?

It's been so interesting to talk with you. Thank you so much for guiding us through the worlds of autism and animal behavior. I have learned so much by reading your books and I highly recommend them. Good luck in your work, Temple.
