Evita & Madonna

Noah speaks with Argentinian author Luisa Valenzuela. She talks about Argentina's sudden resurgence of interest in Eva Peron, the second wife of Argentine dictator Juan Peron. Much of the country's passion has been stirred by director Alan Parker's choice of Madonna to play Eva Peron in the film version of "Evita," which began shooting in Buenos Aires this week.
