TWO BROTHERS BOUND BY BLOOD, TROUBLE, AND LOVE Guests Cindy Mitchum Azbill, Henry C. Parke and C. Courtney Joyner Watch the YouTube Video

Are you a fan of the Mitchum Brothers – John and Robert? If not yet, you will be now! Join us for an engaging conversation with our three guests, Cindy Mitchum Azbill - daughter of film actor John Mitchum and niece of his brother, Robert Mitchum, Henry C. Parke, True West Magazine Film Editor, and C. Courtney Joyner, Screenwriter and film historian. Cindy Mitchum thought she was growing up in a “normal” family until she got a job at an insurance company and her Dad said, “When are you going to realize you are NOT normal?” that she really noticed. Today, Cindy carries the torch to share her family’s legacy. Join us for a lively conversation about her father’s autobiography, Them Ornery Mitchum Boys: The Adventures of Robert and John Mitchum. When we asked Cindy why this engaging and entertaining book should be on everyone's TBR list she replied with this insightful comment: Dad refused to put anything nasty or hurtful in the book, especially towards anyone who was still alive. He said why make yourself mean and small?

In today's social media world and the ability to hide behind screens, remaining faceless instead of looking people eye to eye, nastiness, hatred, rudeness and disrespect seem to be the excepted norm.
