Tim [Collins]'s Story
It was February 1968 and I was attending Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California, not quite ready to take on a real job, but eager to move beyond the world of academic studies and sports. My parents had a vacation home in Newport Beach close to Disneyland, and because of my family connections I landed a part-time job working as a busboy at the Tomorrowland Cafe on weekends. […]
Lucile [Bosché] Jr.'s Story
It was July 17, 1955, the day before my father Bill's 33rd birthday.

Richard [Mosier]'s Story
My career in the film business began when I was just a kid. My dad, Wilbur Mosier, was an assistant director at MGM and he would work me into the background for scenes in Dr. Kildare, The 11th Hour, and Man From U.N.C.L.E.. Soon I had an agent and got to take time out from regular school to work on shows like Robin and the 7 Hoods, The Great Race and Combat. […]
