The CMBA profiles two classic movie blogs per
month, on the 1st and the 15th of the month. Today we're featuring David from A Trip Down Memory Lane.
David’s experience with blogging likely sounds familiar to a lot of
people. You might start a blog with a specific goal, only to have it morph into
something else.
“I started my blog in March of 2010,” says David. “I started it so I
could put all the information and tidbits of classic Hollywood in one place,
but then it evolved into a blog showcasing memories of great entertainment and
stars that I enjoyed. My blog was originally called The Great Entertainers
Archive, but a year later I changed it to A Trip Down Memory Lane.”
A Trip Down Memory Lane is a valuable resource for those looking for
information on celebrities of classic Hollywood. David chronicles lesser-known
personalities, too, such as Nedra Sanders Broccoli.
“She was the widow of singer Buddy Clark as well as the
wife of James Bond producer Albert Broccoli,” explains David. “Nedra had a
lifetime of heartache and disaster. There were no other stories on her
anywhere, so I researched what I could find on her for months. I was proud of
the reaction I got, and it was used on other websites and publications. I also
got emails from her two children who were toddlers when she died thanking me
for writing the article on her. Even though her story was a sad one, I felt
happy that I had the opportunity to tell it.”
