Consummate entertainer Bobby
Darin (1936-1973) is making a movie
about his life. He’s volatile, driven
by the love of performing, ambition,
perfectionism, and belief that he’s
living on borrowed time. He begins
in the Bronx: a fatherless lad learning
music and dance from his mom. His
career starts slowly, then “Splish
Splash” puts him at the top of the
charts and on “Bandstand.” He wants
to be an entertainer, not a pop star,
so he aims for the Copacabana.Then
it’s on to the movies, where he meets
and marries Sandra Dee. Balancing
career, health, marriage and family
life are balances he doesn’t always
keep.

Revolving around Truvy’s Beauty
Parlor in a small parish in Louisiana,
Steel Magnolias is the story of a
close-knit circle of friends whose
lives come together there. As
the picture opens, we find Drum
Eatenton shooting birds in the trees
of his back yard in preparation for
his daughter’s wedding reception
that afternoon. Shortly thereafter,
M’Lynn and Shelby (Drum’s wife
and daughter) depart for Truvy’s to
get their hair done for the wedding.
Annelle Depuy Desoto is introduced
to Truvy’s customers as her new
“glamour technician.” While in the
chairs, the sour-tempered Ouiser
Boudreaux shows up and entertains
the assemblage with her barbs. It
seems that the only one of the group
who truly understands Ouiser is
Clairee who is recently widowed and
looking for a diversion. Filled with
humor and heartbreak, these “Steel
Magnolias” make us laugh and cry as
the realities of their lives unfold.

In this sequel, we pick up the singer’s
career just as he has returned to the
stage after a premature retirement.
But his wife has left him and the
appeal of the spotlight just isn’t the
same. This time Jolson trades in the
stage for life in the fast lane: women,
horses, travel. It takes the death of
Moma Yoelson and World War II to
bring Jolson back to earth - and to
the stage. Jolson travels the world
entertaining troops everywhere.
When he finally collapses from
exhaustion it takes pretty nurse Ellen
Clark to show him there’s more to
life than “just rushing around”.
