I had a similar experience when I was talking to a group of under 30 year olds about Gregory Peck and Gary Cooper. Nobody in the group knew who they were. FRANC

Some universities have film clubs which help preserve the classics and pass the films on to the next generations. Unfortunately I had two occasions when major stars were not heard of. I went to Frank Sinatra Jr's concert at Jones Hall in Houston last year. I stayed after the show to meet him, get his autograph on my CD and have a picture taken with him. After printing the picture at CVS, I showed it to the cashier and told her he was the son of Frank Sinatra. Her response was, "Who is Frank Sinatra? On the otherhand, most remember Judy Garland and Debbie Reynolds. Of course they know Debbie Reynolds of Will & Grace fame and not from The Unsinkable Molly Brown. And many young and old continue to watch The Wizard of Oz.
