Listen "Taylor Blackwell of It Happened: The Judy Tenuta Story"
Episode Synopsis
TVC 698.1: Ed welcomes Taylor Blackwell, the writer, director, and star of It Happened, the award-winning short biopic about legendary comedienne Judy Tenuta. It Happened was made with the cooperation and financial support of the Judy Tenuta Legacy, which also allowed Taylor to use Judy’s actual accordion in the film, as well as wear Judy’s jewelry, accessories, flowers, feather boas, and wardrobe. Topics this segment include how Taylor came to make the film, how she channeled Judy’s voice in the course of her performance, and how she was mentored by Burt Reynolds early in her acting career. If you run a film festival, or know someone who does, and may be interested in including It Happened: The Judy Tenuta Story, contact Taylor Blackwell at [email protected].
