Movie star and now California gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger was catapulted to fame in the late seventies when he was featured in the benchmark bodybuilding documentary Pumping Iron. The filmmaker was lakes region resident George Butler. We'll talk with George about Arnold in his early days and what he thinks about the trajectory of Arnold's career. George has gone on to make other documentaries, including Pumping Iron II: The Women, In the Blood, and The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition.
