Bud Shulberg's niece Sandra has produced the film that is now showing in various cities. Email me and I'll give you her contact info, she may be able to help.<br /><br />Coincidentally, I saw your talk yesterday at the Decatur Book Festival with my sister, a writer for the AJC, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! As a music lover, Gershwin is a personal favorite of mine. Your family stories are just wonderful. We have our own celebrity filled family stories from early Hollywood in the 1920-30's, but much is a mystery now that most of the archivists are gone. <br /><br />I can't wait to read your book! Many thanks for the talk.Victoria Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291330032156184322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6377939820740020150.post-84291086923267363492011-08-24T15:39:37.294-04:002011-08-24T15:39:37.294-04:00I describe what I do know about his activities in ...I describe what I do know about his activities in the book, including a pretty funny moment when he was arrested for mishandling "TOP SECRET" documents which were actually props for a film about how to handle TOP SECRET documents, but nobody had clearance to look at them to see if he was lying about their only being blueprints for a shopping center in Van Nuys marked "Top Secret," so he was taken off to military prison.Katharine Weberhttp://www.katharineweber.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6377939820740020150.post-84364138546051651532011-08-24T14:36:34.210-04:002011-08-24T14:36:34.210-04:00Oh, to lay hands on one of the films!Oh, to lay hands on one of the films!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
