Amy Ryan Looks For The 'Lost Girls'

Based on a true story, the actress plays a woman whose daughter is among several sex workers who went missing in Long Island and then were found murdered; with movie theaters closed in L.A. and N.Y., what does that mean for exhibitors and streaming services?; 50 years ago, "Abbey Road" won only one Grammy —and it wasn't a major prize.

Missing, Dead And Still Unsolved

(Starts at 8:00)

When her eldest daughter, Shannan, vanishes in a wealthy Long Island neighborhood in 2010, Mari Gilbert (played by Amy Ryan) sets out to find some answers. Inspired by Robert Kolker’s 2013 nonfiction book of the same name, "Lost Girls" (directed by Liz Garbus for Netflix) tells the story of the search for Shannan Gilbert, which ultimately led to the discovery of the bodies of nine young women (including Gilbert) who worked as prostitutes. The cases are still unsolved. Amy Ryan spoke with The Frame about what drew her to this role and what "Lost Girls" has to say about what it takes to be believed.

You Never Give Me Your Trophies ...

(Starts at 18:00)

50 years ago, at the 1970 Grammy Awards, The Beatles’ "Abbey Road" was up for Album of the Year. It would become their best-selling studio album and many critics declared it the band’s best ever. But it didn’t win the big prize. That went to Blood, Sweat & Tears. The only Grammy for "Abbey Road" was for engineering. The Frame contributor Tim Greiving recently visited with the assistant engineer on those sessions, John Kurlander, who — incredibly — was only 18 at the time.
