Don’t miss Wed., June 3 at 7 p.m. for a special presentation benefitting Macedonia’s Longwood Manor Restoration Project held in the Macedonia Community Room, 9691 Valley View Rd., Macedonia.
Long-lost films of Ernie “Ghoulardi” Anderson, Tim Conway and “Big Chuck” Schodowski will be the focus of the presentation by local historians and authors Janice and Mike Olszewski who will give a sneak preview of their upcoming book about three of Northeast Ohio’s most beloved personalities. All proceeds will go to the Longwood Manor project.
The presentation will be a rare opportunity to see vintage films and performances by the trio, some not seen for over 60 years. They include recently discovered videos of Ghoulardi, outtakes from “McHale’s Navy,” some of Big Chuck’s earliest work and much, much more.
Plus, recently restored footage of Anderson and Conway’s time as a comedy duo will also be included. You’ll be talking about this event for years to come. The videos were discovered while the Olszewskis were researching their upcoming book and provide a trip back to a much simpler time. They are a prime example of the creativity of three performers brought together in the early days of TV and forming a lifelong bond, giving us countless laughs along the way.
The Olszewskis also will have their current books on radio and television on hand with all proceeds going to the Longwood restoration project. Reservations suggested by May 31. Email [email protected], or contact Mike Olszewski at [email protected]. Admission is free and donations are welcome.
