Long lost films of Ernie “Ghoulardi” Anderson, Tim Conway and “Big Chuck” Schodowski will be the focus of a special presentation to benefit Macedonia’s Longwood Manor restoration project. Authors Janice and Mike Olszewski will give a sneak preview of their upcoming book about three of Northeast Ohio’s most beloved personalities. All proceeds from this special presentation 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 sixty 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. You’ll be talking about this event for years to come! The videos were discovered while researching Olszewski’s 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. Think you’ve seen all their work together? The word you’ll hear over and over will simply be “Wow!” You will not want to miss this very special presentation.
Janice and Mike will also have their current books on radio and television on hand with all proceeds going to the Longwood restoration project. Reservations suggested by May 31st, E- mail LMHS1926@AOL.COM, or contact Mike Olszewski at jannmike1978@gmail.com. Admission is free, and donations to benefit the project are welcome.
