Superstar architect Frank Lloyd Wright was as well known for his scandalous personal life as he was for his revolutionary architectural designs. Even Wright seemed to recognize he was a flawed man, but as biographer Paul Hendrickson argues, underneath Wright's arrogance existed a "fundamental soulfulness" that resulted in some of the world's most innovative structures. Hendrickson, Senior Lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania and author of "Plagued by Fire: The Dreams and Furies of Frank Lloyd Wright" discusses the life of FLW with journalist Ernest Granson.
