Happy Birthday Mom!
Classic Movie Memories and More…
In celebration of my mother’s birthday today, I’m sharing a YouTube clip of an interview with my mom about her lifelong love of classic movies and her classic movie memories. First she is interviewed by my fabulous friend and classic movie colleague Aurora from Once Upon a Screen (aka @CitizenScreen) — where my mom talks about what it was like going to the movies ‘way back when’ (sorry Mom), the old NYC Movie Palaces like the NYC Paramount, her favorite actor (not telling who), Elvis, Cagney, Frankenstein and more. Then about halfway in, I chat with my mom about her favorite actors, her desert island movie picks, seeing Streisand on Broadway (I’m all verkelmpt!), and more…
As I’ve mentioned many times before, my parents both shared classic movies with me when I was a kid, and that is a gift I will treasure forever…
This video is posted on our ‘Classic Movies and More’ YouTube Channel…
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for this delightful post. I watched the video (I had to pause in the middle to check if Amazon has ONCE UPON A TIME) and was charmed by your mother’s recollections. I am between you and your mother in age so some of her memories seem like my mother’s (I entered the movie theater world at 25cent matinees) and some feel like my own. I remember when two movies were the standard and always a cartoon. It was a pleasure to hear your mother’s memories and to see you with her.
Thank you so much for taking the time to view this video! I really appreciate it 🙂 Wishing you a Very Happy Holiday, Merry Christmas (if you celebrate it) and a Happy and Healthy New Year. And, thank you for all the reading and comments you’ve been making on all of our Contributor posts… again it is greatly appreciated!
