This week, Netflix celebrated the documentary MARTHA at the famed The Paris Theater in New York, New York. In attendance was Martha Stewart, R.J. Cutler and notable guests Tory Burch, Candace Bushnell, Stephanie March & Trudie Styler.
I had the pleasure of watching the documentary today, and I found it incredibly enlightening. Martha Stewart was absolutely fantastic! She’s funny, witty, and incredibly smart plus, she’s done quite well for herself! It’s interesting to note her time in federal prison for lying to the FBI; I can’t help but wonder if jealousy played a role, especially given that she was a pioneering female billionaire in her prime. I also had the opportunity to meet her at a book signing at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, and she was truly delightful! It’s great to see her making such a strong comeback!
See all that attended the premiere inside and you can watch her documentary now streaming on Netflix….

This definitive documentary on Martha Stewart pulls back the curtain on one of America’s greatest self-made icons, from her start as a teenage model to her stint as a Wall Street stockbroker to her reign as the grand dame of entertaining and good taste. Directed by R.J. Cutler (Elton John: Never Too Late, Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry, The September Issue), Martha draws on hundreds of hours of intimate interviews with Stewart and those from her inner circle, along with Stewart’s private archives of diaries, letters, and never-seen-before footage. The film illuminates Stewart’s upbringing in a working-class family, compels us to reconsider the scandal that sent her to prison, and heralds her post-prison reinvention as the original influencer who’s still captivating new generations of fans.
