Many, many things going on for all of us! Some good, not so good. One of the good ones is this new PRESENTING MR. & MRS. DREW book which currently is the subject of a Kickstarter campaign.

A very detailed look at the film and stage careers of comedian Sidney Drew and the two Mrs. Drews: Gladys Rankin and Lucile McVey.
