Good morning everyone. This morning I received an email from Summer Chapin. She is Lauren Chapin's daughter. I've known Summer since she was a teenager.

If you missed it, her mother, Lauren Chapin (Kitten from FATHER KNOWS BEST) passed away last week after a 5 year battle with cancer. We had been friends since 1999. I want to go LIVE today to explain more about Lauren and her remarkable life.

Summer has asked me to share a GOFUNDME page as she is raising funds for a true memorial Would you please share this? Here is Summer's Letter to explain better:

---------------------------------------------

Dear Greg,

Thank you for creating such a beautiful website in memory of my Mom. As you know, I cared for her during her 5-year battle with cancer. She passed away here in Miami, where we came seven months ago for treatment.

We will hold her Celebration of Life on what would have been her 81st birthday, May 23rd, in LA.

Mom wished to be buried at Forever Hollywood Cemetery. I recently inquired and was offered a small plaque space in the Judy Garland Pavilion, which costs $35,000. Since this is quite expensive, a family friend and I have started a GoFundMe to raise funds for Mom’s remembrance, as she truly deserves.

We will send invitations to all who donate and have arranged for other celebrities to perform a benediction on Mom’s behalf.

I would appreciate your help in sharing this information. Could you please add the GoFundMe link to the website you created? Also, if you and any of your friends could share this on social media, that would be wonderful.

I would also personally like to invite you to her private Celebration of Life, as you have been a dear friend to her over the years.

Your website for my Mom made me so overjoyed, and I’m truly grateful for you doing this!

Please let me know if you are open to this.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Summer

I went to see Song Sung Blue with Jackie, Mattisen and Carla Del Villaggio.

I was expecting it to be more about celebrity impersonators, but it was not. That just happened to be the career of the 2 main characters. But at the same time, it was kind of the backbone of this film.

There are many levels to the celebrity impersonation industry. For example, there are $100 Elvis Impersonators, and there are $10,000 Elvis Impersonators. The backstory of this film features a more local level of our industry.

However, there were some very familiar comments made throughout the film that I had to laugh out loud about. Some of it was way too familiar. Especially at the beginning. Jim Belushi is a standout in this. I didn't even know he was in it until we saw him on screen.

Of course, they took some creative liberties with the story. But I give it two thumbs up! Definitely worth seeing, and I will be seeing it again.

It is very heartwarming and touching, so be prepared to have your heart strings pulled a bit.
