We're joined by actress/singer/dancer Ann Jillian who takes us on an extraordinary journey which begins as her parents escape Soviet-Occupied Lithuania and continues into the Hollywood soundstages that launch Ann's career as a child star in Gypsy and Babes in Toyland and then winds towards her adult career as a beloved Hollywood icon.Ann shares the powerful story of her family's flight across war-torn Europe on bicycles, aided by her mother's multilingual savvy, which helped them dodge bullets and bombs and navigate a perilous path to safety. Settling in America was more than a fresh start, it was a dream realized. Ann recalls the deep pride her parents felt the day they became U.S. citizens and she reflects on her show biz beginnings, first in commercials (she was a Chevrolet girl!), then, playing Bo Peep in Babes in Toyland, leading to the stage name bestowed upon her by Mr. Walt Disney! and landing the role of Dainty June in Gypsy, where she gained an even deeper appreciation of her own mother who was NOT a Mama Rose. Ann tells us how education was valued for Disney child stars, she shares her mother's wisdom on dealing with jealousies and she tells us about the treasured momento she received from her dear friend in Natalie Wood.She also discusses her battle with breast cancer, her triumphant return to work, the joy in becoming a mother and the fabulously funny and romantic 'how we met story' featuring herself and her husband of 50 years, Andy.And IMDB Roulette  this week takes us on a journey around Mayfield, into the Twilight Zone and through a time when TV movies tackled important social issues.In recommendations --Fritz: Britbox Mini Series, OutrageousWeezy: Netflix Series, Son of a CritchPath Points of Interest:Ann Jillian on WikipediaAnn Jillian on IMDBAnn Jillian on Amazon OutrageousSon of a CritchMedia Path PodcastMedia Path on FacebookMedia Path on InstagramMedia Path on XMedia Path on Bluesky

EPISODE 95 -  “VIRGINIA GREY: Classic Cinema Star of the Month” - 7/07/25 If VIRGINIA GREY is remembered at all, the blue-eyed, blonde-haired beauty is probably best remembered as the caustic perfume counter girl in The Women (1939), who sees right through the gold-digging ways of Crystal Allen, played by JOAN CRAWFORD. In these brief scenes, she is so charismatic and saucy, she really shows how to deliver a zinger of a line. She may also be remembered as the good luck charm of producer ROSS HUNTER, who put her in many of his popular movies of the mid-1950s and 1960s. But there was so much more to this talented actress.

In this episode of Your History Your Story, we dive into a unique and often overlooked side of World War II through a captivating conversation with author Robert B. O'Connor. His historical fiction novel, “Jeep Show: A Trouper at the Battle of the Bulge”, centers on the fictional character Jim Tanzer—a professional dancer/performer who joins the Army and is assigned to Special Services, in a unit known as the “Morale Corps”.Though Tanzer is fictional, the story is rooted in real events and inspired by true accounts of wartime performers, including well-known figures like Mickey Rooney. O'Connor draws on historical research and personal stories to bring authenticity to the novel, blending fact and fiction in a compelling way.During our conversation, Robert shares how the book came to be, the real-life inspirations behind Tanzer's journey and the important role of performance in lifting the spirits of troops near the front lines. If you're interested in World War II history, behind-the-scenes stories of the battlefield or how the heart and dedication of a performer could uplift soldiers in their toughest moments—this episode is for you.Music: "With Loved Ones" Jay Man Photo(s): Courtesy of Robert B.

Clarence Brown's family classic National Velvet is what's on tap in the 662nd edition of Have You Ever Seen. A pre-teen, horse-obsessed Elizabeth Taylor sheds tears from time to time, but she's remarkably optimistic all the same, especially about her beloved equine chum, "The Pie".  Anne Revere won an Oscar for playing Taylor's preternaturally calm mom, while top-billed Mickey Rooney was starting to grow out of his annoying "I'm always overdoing it" phase. He's actually pretty good in this, playing a young loner with horse PTSD. They're the main players in this classic sports film, even if the horse-training and the steeplechase sequence at the end represent all the sportiness. So don't be a screechy kid brother. Just walk down an English road to make some friends while you ear up Ryan's one-man-show about the emotionally satisfying National Velvet. Our sponsor: Sparkplug Coffee.

Lee and Daniel are joined in this episode by their friend Jack Graham, who co-hosts the I Don't Speak German podcast with Daniel, to talk about "Rising Sun" (1993), directed by Philip Kaufman, and based on the novel by Michael Crichton. The film follows Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes as they navigate Japanese culture, while trying to solve a murder, in ways that sometimes make Mickey Rooney's yellow face performance in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" look somewhat tame in comparison. Is there anything to salvage from this outdated trainwreck? Is the Crichton novel any better? The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. Thankfully no racist Japanese accents were used in the recording of this podcast, but a few bad Connery impressions might have slipped by the edit.

Right off the bat, we learn about the unique role of enlisted entertainers during World War II, who were sent in Jeeps to the front lines to lift the spirits of soldiers with shows! Yup, you heard that right—think of the likes of Mickey Rooney entertaining troops instead of just making movies. It's a wild twist on history that not many folks know about, and we're here for it! Robert shares some cool stories about the real-life inspirations behind his characters and how these entertainers kept morale high in the midst of chaos. So grab your headphones, kick back, and let's get into this lesser-known slice of WWII history!

You know Mickey Rooney as a Hollywood legend, but did you know he also served in World War II? At the height of his fame, Rooney traded red carpets for the Army, entertaining the troops and boosting morale across war zones.
