The movie 'The Post' has several stellar actors, but it's the story the movie tells -- the life of Katharine -- that we believe led to its Oscar nomination for best picture.
Women's History MonthIf you’ve seen “The Post,” you’re one of the many who have had the pleasure of getting some insight into the life of Katharine Meyer Graham.
After working a stint at a paper in San Francisco, Katharine returned to Washington, D.C., and worked at the Post briefly before she married Philip Graham, who was a Supreme Court law clerk, on June 5, 1940. After she became publisher of the Washington Post in 1969, it was two years later when Katharine made the difficult and infamous decision to publish the classified Pentagon Papers, which delved into the history of the U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
“If we had failed to pursue the facts as far as they led, we would have denied the public any knowledge of an unprecedented scheme of political surveillance and sabotage.” -- Katharine Graham
