MORE RECENTLY UNEARTHED BITS AND PIECES ABOUT CROTON NOTABLES....

CROTON'S KATHLEEN BELLER, THE OGSDENBURG JOURNAL, SERIOUS ABOUT HER WORK, 1978 and 1980, plus a rarely seen JACKIE GLEASON "funny book" that seldom comes up for auction.   CLICK ON THE PHOTOS AND LINKS.

The 1980 blurb for "MOTHER AND DAUGHTER" features Tuesday Weld, Frances Sternhagen and Beller--who comprise the three generations of women in this exploration of a love-hate relationship spanning thirty years. Besides the well-oiled ensemble performances, the film is notable for the "special appearance" by Harry Chapin and several songs he and wife Sandy wrote.

For those who don't know, Gleason lived in nearby Cortlandt and was a frequent visitor to the village.
