42 * GOD IS THE BIGGER ELVIS* GLORIA: IN HER OWN WORDS

42 - This is the movie about Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in Major Leage Baseball in 1947 when he signed a contract to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers.  It's a great baseball movie for its story, the acting, the history, and of course, the baseball.  God Is The Bigger Elvis - Saw this interesting little documentary last night on HBO. Dolores Hart was a lovely young actress who starred in movies with Elvis Presley in the 1950s and early 1960s.  Something larger than acting was pulling at her, though, and in her early 20s, she made a life changing decision.  It's a charming and fabulous true story.Gloria: In Her Own Words - Gloria Steinem talks about her life and the women's movement in this well done documentary. It was so interesting to watch this history and to learn Gloria's story.
