You did it! It's a Christmas miracle!
My buddy's mom had gone to Snuffy's then roadside stand in Scotch Plains, NJ. to buy meat
and had dragged us along. The older man in front of us in line turned to leave with his hamburger
when she gasped and said, "It's Jimmy Durante!"
His wife's family lived in town and he was getting dinner so he only chatted for a few minutes.
When we got home Mrs. Mullen told so many people about Durante being there she probably
trebled Snuffy's business.
Since then I get a kick out of seeing him kick the bucket in Mad Mad Mad World when it's on.
I'd have rather met his cast mates Jonathon Winters or Leo Gorcey but you can't have everything.
Thanks pal. It's remarkable how many movies/TV series film in the area now.
Cranford is constantly in the flickers, I think the comedy "Guess Who's Coming" with
Bernie Mac got the ball rolling. Westfield had the series "Ed", a Queen Latifah movie,
a Japanese Rom-Com, many other films and lots of commercials. Oh and a Peter Falk
comedy at the Garwood Rest Bar in Garwood.
Two of those movies(Rudolph and Frosty) we would watch every year as children. Santa Claus is coming to town not so much, but I still remembered it.
