For this week’s Summer Spark we’re thrilled to highlight this episode of American Masters. Take a look and then dive deeper with resources about the life and legacy of Raúl Juliá on PBS LearningMedia.
In Raúl Juliá: The World’s a Stage, explore a warm and revealing portrait of the charismatic, groundbreaking actor’s journey from his native Puerto Rico to the creative hotbed of 1960s New York City, to prominence on Broadway and in Hollywood. Filled with passion, determination and joy, Juliá’s brilliant and daring career was tragically cut short by his untimely death 25 years ago, at age 54.
