Once again, Mark Jacob and Stephan Benzkofer do a great job finding some interesting stuff on a particular topic, this time, in honor of Father's Day back in June.
From the June 19th Chicago Tribune.
1. Among the most admired fictional fathers is ATTICUS FINCH, the lawyer from "To Kill a Mockingbird" played by Gregory Peck. He was based on author Harper Lee's father. One day on the set, Peck saw the author crying as she watched a scene and stopped to talk to her: "Oh, Gregory, you've got a little potbelly, just like my daddy."
2. Chevy Chase plays CLARK GRISWALD in the four "Vacation" movies, but his two kids are played by different actors in each film. In the fourth movie, "Vegas Vacation," Griswald declares: "You guys are growing up so fast, I hardly recognize you anymore." No wonder.
3. Gene Hackman might have been the father on "The Brady Bunch" but lacked the celebrity and Robert Reed got it.
More to Come. --Cooter
