Excellent program. Thank you for these interesting stories.

First hand encounters with such people are worth a volume of critic's reviews. Thanks for this.

I'm glad you found it valuable. As his fame has grown Jean has been idolized, but I will never forget how human he was.

[@andrewnorris2]

@@JohnSeed Yes, I always find first hand points of view more interesting than anything anyone has written. On my other channel, andrewnorris1, I interviewed the critic, and official biographer of Hitchcock, John Russell Taylor, on Hitch, Leni Riefenstahl, Michael Powell, and many more it was so interesting to listen to him speak from close personal contact.

The Barbie doll is too much ! Having worked for Mattel back in the mid '80's, no Art Director (in the doll Dept) would approve.

How ironic that many decades later, the suites likely did not so much as hesitate to produce this doll ...In the "80's?" I'm sure no corporation would sign off on that. This irony is the only thing going for this weird take on memorabilia.
