Let's raise a box of hot buttered popcorn to the memory of Clu Gulager: film star, film fan, and the one guy I was always happy to give up my favorite seat at @newbeverly to. That front row's not gonna be the same without him.
What rock books are you reading this weekend? We’re in the middle of the excellent Ronnie Spector memoir “Be My Baby” with @vincewaldron and introduction by @officialKeef. Fantastic so far!
The Washington Post's Katherine A. Powers calls BE MY BABY a "heartfelt, brilliantly narrated memoir...one of the best I have ever listened to." "Ronnie Spector's memoir--written with Vince Waldron...has found the perfect narrator in Rosie Perez." https://t.co/hiFkxNY9LF
#BeMyBabybook by @RonnieSpectorGS and @vincewaldron, read by @rosieperezbklyn, just won @AudioFileMag's Earphone Award. "Perez and Spector are spiritual kin--showbiz outliers with distinctive voices, street cred and all-in performing styles." https://t.co/TEcx2rPZ9G
The audiobook of "Be My Baby: A Memoir" by #RonnieSpector with #VinceWaldron comes out tomorrow. But if you just can't wait, People magazine posted an excerpt of #RosiePerez reading from Ronnie's chapter about meeting the Beatles.

"[Ronnie Spector's] hardscrabble Spanish Harlem toughness touches every page of the book. Her struggle...leads to a triumphant moment of self-discovery and happiness."--Lauretta Charlton, New York Times @laurettaland#bemybabybook#NewYorkTimes

I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331.
I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY.
I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.
I know "Network" is acknowledged as Paddy Chayefsky's masterpiece of the 1970s. But for my money, his script for "The Hospital"(1971) is every bit as sly, dark, and profound. You'll have a rare opportunity to judge for yourself when it plays @newbeverly on February 29.
Let's see. 1949...check! RKO Pictures...check! Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh as department store workers...check! Add a great kid actor and Harry Morgan as a cranky desk sergeant, and you have the makings of the greatest unsung xmas movie ever. "Holiday Affair" @newbeverly 12/23
@ATributeToTDVDS@speakyteeth Hi, Lynn. Sorry to send such a belated reply, but I was just going through my tweet stream and saw this question. I'm hoping I got back to you in 2013, but if I didn't, feel free to contact me again. Best way to reach me is through the official dick van dyke show book FB page.
