Dave Willat was just 11 years old when he showed up for what he thought would be a routine church choir practice in 1965. He and his fellow singers ended up making history.
We caught up with one of the kids who sang on 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.' He's 72 now

Congrats. I gave up and bought the DVD last week. For $5, but still.

If you’ve ever wondered how Nancy Meyers got Dustin Hoffman to cameo in THE HOLIDAY in that scene in Blockbuster Video, she told that story on her instagram stories a few years ago.

Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.
