Tavis talks to Carmen Binladin, sister-in-law of the world's most wanted man, about her new book and actor Jon Heder, star of the sleeper summer hit, Napoleon Dynamite.
Carmen Binladin
Carmen Binladin
Carmen Binladin is a former sister-in-law of the world's most wanted terrorist leader. She married Osama's brother, Yeslam, in 1974 and lived in Saudi Arabia for nine years. She's described her life in Saudi Arabia as a "prison,' and in her new book, Inside the Kingdom, lifts the lid on life in the bin Laden family and within a Saudi community. She suggests the Bin Ladens have not been candid about their relations to the man behind the Sept. 11 attacks.
Jon Heder
Jon Heder
Jon Heder is the relatively unknown star of the new offbeat comedy Napoleon Dynamite. He got his acting start in a children's-theater production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. With his identical twin, Daniel, he attended Brigham Young University and studied 3-D animation. There, Heder met Napoleon writer and director Jared Hess. The movie tells the story of a social misfit named Napoleon Dynamite, who has trouble fitting in among his peers.
