Celebrity Stories of Gift Giving

The Takeaway

We have asked some of our favorite guests from the past few weeks about the best gifts they have ever given, and the best gifts they have received. From actors Ed Burns and Brian Cox to singers Olivia Newton John and Darryl McDaniels, from the hip hop group Run-D.M.C., they discuss the gifts that mean the most to them.
