Jon Favreau

The movie Swingers gave a hilarious glimpse into LA’s dating scene, but it also started a music craze. Jon Favreau, who wrote the film, is as passionate about swing music now as he was then. He chose a swing-only set starting with a core artist in the 1930’s up to what he considers the ultimate song for the dance floor. Jon tells Anne about the artists that inspired him to write the movie, which he also starred in. The DVD for his latest blockbuster, Iron Man, is available this week.
