When I was 22 years old and newly married, my husband and I moved to Arizona. We were in our apartment, and one day, I heard the theme to a movie playing in another room.

When I was very young and watched the Academy Awards, I would always root for my favorite. When Elizabeth Taylor won in 1966 for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, my friends and I were cheering in my dorm room at NYU. I hoped Richard Burton would win also.

When I was ten years old, I was asked to write a paper on the most influential person of the 20th Century. I chose George Gershwin. I was in love with Rhapsody in Blue and played it all the time. I am still in love.  George Gershwin was a genius. When he left this world in 1937, at age 38, …

When I’m asked what my favorite song is, I can never answer. I have favorites in pop music, Broadway, and movies.

Ed Sullivan?  Then he said that Ed …

You know what it’s like, you hear a song and the melody lingers on long after the song is finished. Most of us have heard the expression: Dance as if no one is watching and sing as if no one is listening. Many years ago my husband had seen the movie, The Days of Wine and Roses. He liked the …
