JUDY BLUME -AMONG OTHERS- IS JUST ONE NEW JERSEYAN WITH GIFTED TALENTS--HERS BEING OF THE LITERARY KIND. FROM EDISON TO STREEP WE PRODUCE AMAZING PEOPLE WHO INSPIRE AND HAVE MADE OUR LIVES BETTER. JUST IN MY TOWN ALONE THERE IS A BUZZ ALDRIN DAY COMING UP AT OUR UNIVERSITY AND LIBRARY.
BUT I DIGRESS.
ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER READ A JUDY BLUME BOOK, SHE HAS BEEN THE VOICE OF MANY YOUNG ADULTS' LIVES. AS A FORMER TEACHER I SAW HER INFLUENCE IN THE STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND PARENTS ( THE WOMAN DOES HAVE 88,000 FOLLOWERS ON TWITTER, AFTER ALL).
HER MOST FAMOUS BOOKS ARE:
1970'S "ARE YOU THERE GOD?IT'S ME MARGARET"
1972'S "TALES OF A FOURTH GRADE NOTHING"
1973'S "DEENIE"
1975'S "FOREVER"
"ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY" HAS A GREAT ARTICLE THIS WEEK; FINALLY ONE OF HER BOOKS -"TIGER EYES"- WITH THE HELP OF HER SON, THE DIRECTOR OF THE PROJECT, WILL BE TRANSLATED TO FILM.
HER SON FELT HE COULD TRANSLATE "TIGER EYES" BEST DUE TO THE LENGTH OF THE STORY & HIS PERSONAL, CLEARER VISION REGARDING THE IT.
THEY ONLY HAD $3 MILLION TO SPEND ON THIS PROJECT & LITTLE WENT TO MARKETING. THE FILM WILL ONLY BE RELEASED IN 20 THEATERS. IT WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE ON ITUNES AND ON DEMAND.
JUST A SHOUT OUT FOR THIS TALENTED MOTHER ON MOTHER'S DAY.
