Well, everyone, I'm pleased to inform all you diehard Kettle fans that my book,
"Marjorie
and Ma: the Life Story of Marjorie Main," will be released around this time next
year.
McFarland publishing are very interested and we're currently settling a few
editorial bits
and pieces before signing a contract.

The book will have Marjorie's complete life story, together with a filmography
of her 80+
films and a bundle of photographs to boot. I was very surprised to learn that no
one had
taken on Marjorie's life story before now, and the end result of my research has
uncovered
much of the mystery that surrounded Marjorie's life and career. Her marriage to
Dr. Krebs
was unconventional, to say the least, and the rare letters and correspondence
between
them will be included in a chapter entitled, "Dr. and Mrs. Krebs."

Together with the filmography there are film facts and behind the scenes
information
relating to each particular film, so as not to make the filmography boring. I've
always
found that I've often skipped filmographies in books, just because they're so
drab and
technical. The idea to add this behind the scenes gossip, trivia, etc., is my
way of making
you, as the reader, want to read it. Clever, huh?

Well, that's it for now, folks! - I'll keep you all updated as to the progress
of the book as it
becomes available.

Best always ~
Michelle
