Lenski said she got the idea for the “Small” books by watching her young son play with his toy trucks and airplanes. They were like peering into an old-fashioned dollhouse. I think that was part of the fascination. Published in 1932, the illustrations were already quaint when I was a child in the early 1960s. I’m almost positive The Little Family is one of the first books I ever checked out from our county library. ![]()

It’s still too early to tell if Gone for Good will have a second season, and Netflix hasn’t confirmed it. There is currently only one season of Gone for Good, and it’s available to watch on Netflix. How many seasons of Gone for Good are there? This also gives us reason to believe that Gone for Good will have a season 2. With these Rotten Tomatoes scores, Gone for Good season 1 will most likely do well on Netflix and just might be on their top 10 list.

You can read more about the making of this movie in the book James Cameron’s Titanic, and if you would like to see the movie again, you can find it here. He also recreated meticulous details of the ship itself, right down to the china used, and many scenes of the Titanic wreck site were actually filmed there. He did an excellent job weaving the fictional story of Jack and Rose in with the actual passengers on the Titanic, such as Molly Brown, Thomas Andrews, and the Astors. I do recommend the movie, though, and commend the director, James Cameron, for his accuracy and attention to detail. ![]() However, it is essential to remember that this was a real tragedy involving real people, and not just a movie. If asked, most people would say, “Oh, yeah, I saw the movie,” and could talk about “Jack and Rose”, and the “heart of the ocean.” Don’t get me wrong – I really enjoyed this movie as well I saw it twice in the theater, and own the DVD. ![]() ![]() The story of that tragedy lives on today, and you would probably be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t know about the Titanic. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() However, in the Netflix series, she has so far, one son named August.In the books, she has five children and her first child was a girl who was named, Amelia.She was the first of the eight Bridgerton siblings to marry.Unfortunately, her character doesn’t speak and isn’t identified by name.

Larson reunites here with Cretton, whose 2013 indie gem “ Short Term 12” was one of the movies that put her on the map. And that’s surprising given that Brie Larson plays her as an adult. “The Glass Castle” is actually more compelling in its flashbacks, when Jeannette (a mature and soulful Ella Anderson) is better fleshed-out as the family’s feisty, fearless voice of reason. But the back-and-forth structure never really works: It feels episodic rather than building momentum toward its intended moments of truth. ![]() Director and co-writer Destin Daniel Cretton’s film alternates between Jeannette’s youth and teenage years and her adulthood in 1989, when she’d seemingly found stability with a job as a New York magazine writer and an engagement to an ambitious financial advisor. ![]() |
