I was quite literally born at the movies. From the time my mother was a child our family managed two small movie houses in New England…I have a million stories, here’s my favorite, promise to keep it short: we ran IT’S ALIVE for weeks at one theater, when I was very young I was mostly shipped up the street to the other cinema when something “really bad” was playing. The poster alone caused me to be the only little girl I knew that refused to own dolls of any kind- for years I would even put my sister’s in the hallway before bed! To this day they creep me out.
