Excerpt:

Amanda de Cadenet — the thoughtful multihyphenate known for her lengthy and diverse discussions with top female talent on The Conversation interview series — has long had a dream shortlist of interview subjects that contains only two names: Beyoncé and Hillary Clinton.

On Dec. 21, 2015, one of those dreams came true when she sat across from the presidential candidate on a sofa in New York City for a Lifetime special, The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet, which airs Wednesday night at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The hourlong exclusive chat will feature a peek inside Clinton's personal life as well as a digital media-inspired segment that puts Clinton in front of YouTube stars Glozell Green, Chriselle Lim and Maya Washington.

Cadenet sat for a phone conversation with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss highlights of her time with Clinton, revealing the process behind booking the Democratic frontrunner and what most surprised her about the former First Lady of the United States. De Cadenet is the founder of The Conversation Group, which has produced interviews with such A-list stars as Lady Gaga, Gwyneth Paltrow and Zoe Saldana.



What surprised you the most about Hillary?

Just how completely down to earth and grounded she is. I mean, there is so much surrounding her having been Secretary of State, First Lady of the United States and now a presidential candidate. That’s a big life to manage and a lot to take care of. But, what I found with her, from the minute we said hello and shook hands and looked at each other, she was so down to earth and she made it easy for me because she was not guarded. I didn’t have to navigate a lot of barriers and defense. I’m not interested in surface fluff, but I also don’t have an agenda to get someone to be someone they’re not, or to reveal something. When she came to do the interview, she knew what she was walking into.
