by Tim J. Culbertson (Author)
I'm Tim J. Culbertson, sometimes Tjcubby or more often Cubby, born and raised in Sikeston, Missouri, an area of Southeast Missouri near the bootheel and the mighty Mississippi River. I have been a Texan since 1986 after a brief Arkansas turn upon graduation from Southeast Missouri State University with a degree in Education with an emphasis on Library Science. Turning my back on that field, I chose restaurants and retail grocery but now recently retired in March 2022 and have the pleasure of spending time with my husband of 30 years, Gary LaPalombara to travel, read, dine in, and out, cook, watch baseball (GO CARDINALS and RANGERS)and now taking a spin at writing. After having an interest in movies as an early child, the youngest of five, I have enjoyed reading about celebrities' lives, watching movies (I enjoy most genres), and having an extensive library of books and movies on DVD and Blu-Ray and trivia, especially the Oscar. Now is the time, this is my first attempt to write about six people from all walks of life, their friendship over forty years working behind the Hollywood scenes, and obsession with Oscar. Many thanks to my family and friends for giving me the boost of confidence to write but most importantly to my late mother, Jane Culbertson who showed me the pleasure of enjoying movies and not forget, my husband, Gary who allowed me to use the computer more than ever to tackle this journey, We reside in downtown Dallas and enjoy living the dream called RETIREMENT. Allow me to reiterate, this is my first time at the rodeo of writing, hope you enjoy it, its been a labor of love attempting this and there is more to come if you; Ike this and remember as Bette Davis once said or similar to saying, BUCKLE YOUR SEATBELTS FELLAS, ITS GONNA BE A BUMPY RIDE
