Hooray for Hollywood
Welcome back to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 where we ask just 4 questions each week to get you thinking, talking, blogging and making new friends.
According to the late Jordan Maxwell, Hollywood is named for the fact that the holly was used for magic wants by the Druids. This is where term "Hollywood Magic" comes from. People are under it's 'spell'. Another story says that H.J. Whitley the father of Hollywood saw a Chinese man hauling wood on the hills overlooking the future site and asked him what he was doing. "I holly wood" he said meaning hauling wood. It occurred to Whitley that holly wood was a great name for his new town.

During WW2 Marilyn Monroe was an aircraft factory inspector. She was
no dumb blonde but had an above average IQ. Do you know some
Hollywood or record industry trivia? - I got into What's My Line - and discovered that Dorothy Killgalen's last child was not her husband's? Very interesting stuff. Oh and Arlene Francis was Armenian!
2. Would you share with us the funniest movie you have ever seen? - Oh I am not a huge comedy fan per se, but Rush Hour is a funny set of films, and folks were just discussing it on my Twitter!
How about the most dramatic? - The Secret in Their Eyes is pretty dramatic.
3. Has a movie ever really moved you or changed the way you see things? I love Love is All You Need with Pierce Brosnan, and The Lunchbox with Irfaan Khan. Salmon Fishing in the Yemen was also my fav to watch when I felt down - and I picked up something different every time I re-watched it. These are my go-to movies when I want to feel happier or feel my feelings.
4.
Do you have movie nights at your house with special snacks, treats
etc.? If not movies, was there something else around which you created
a special family night? No - if a movie is chosen now we do some popcorn or special food. We didn't really do anything for special family nights beyond birthdays and holidays etc. Now with divorced parents it's 10x more difficult.
