THE LAST DANCE: MICHAEL JORDAN AND THE CHICAGO BULLS DOCUMENTARY

ESPN's Michael Jordan documentary "The Last Dance" is surprisingly addictive. I remember the days when the Detroit Pistons were tearing up the courts as basketball's "Bad Boys". Then came the amazing Michael Jordan.

Being that we are in quarantine, I have been constantly searching for something great to watch. This series fills the bill. It is the back story of The Chicago Bulls during their final championship in 1997-1998. The Last Dance is a 10 part series and parts 1-6 are available to view. 7-8 run this Sunday and 9-10 follow next Sunday.

The 10-part documentary series takes an in-depth look at the Chicago Bulls' dynasty through the lens of the final championship season in 1997-98. The Bulls allowed an NBA Entertainment crew to follow the team around for that entire season, and some of that never-before-seen footage will be featured in the documentary.

In addition, ESPN spoke to more than 100 people close to the team and personalities who experienced the run, exploring all angles of the Jordan phenomenon.

The full episodic documentary will air on ESPN in the U.S. and on Netflix outside of the U.S.

The Ruby Slippers of Oz Thirty Years Later

ISABELA PERON BECAME PRESIDENT OF ARGENTINA 6-29-1974

Evita Duarte-Peron and Juan Domingo Peron

This story is straight out of the plot of House of Cards....

In 1943, as an army officer, Juan Domingo Peron joined a military coup against Argentina’s ineffectual civilian government. Appointed secretary of labor, his influence grew, and in 1944 he also became vice president and minister of war. In October 1945, Peron was ousted from his positions by a coup of constitutionally minded civilians and officers, and he was imprisoned, but appeals from workers and his charismatic mistress, Eva Duarte, soon forced his release.

The night of his release, October 17, he addressed a crowd of some 300,000 people from the balcony of the presidential palace and promised to lead the people to victory in the coming presidential election. Four days later, Peron, a widower, married Eva Duarte, or “Evita,” as she became affectionately known.

As president, Peron constructed an impressive populist alliance, and his vision of self-sufficiency for Argentina won him wide support. However, he also became increasingly authoritarian, jailing political opponents and restricting freedom of the press.

In 1952, his greatest political resource, Evita, died, and support for him dissolved. Three years later, he was ousted in a military coup. In 1973, after 18 years of exile, he returned to Argentina and won the presidency again. His third wife, Isabela Martinez de Peron, was elected as vice president and in 1974 succeeded him upon his death.

President Isabela Peron

President Isabela Peron was unable to command the support of any powerful group, let alone construct a necessary coalition, and the political and economic situation in Argentina worsened.

On March 24, 1976, following a sharp rise in political terrorism and guerrilla activity, the military deposed Isabela Peron and instituted one of the bloodiest regimes in South American history. Isabela Peron was imprisoned for five years on a charge of abuse of property and upon her release in 1981 settled in Madrid.

THE GLASS CASTLE IS FINALLY A NEW FILM BEING RELEASED AUG 11 2017!

One of my very favorite books of all time is THE GLASS CASTLE by Jeannette Walls (2006). This book takes off from page 1. I totally identified with the author's childhood as things were much different in the 1950s and 1960s. Parents were more in tune with doing the things they wanted and children were not the main focus. Seen and not heard you might say. Not like the Depression but very little supervision by parents.

Now after 11 years this book is now a major motion picture from Lionsgate starring Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, and Naomi Watts.

Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains.

Chronicling the adventures of an eccentric, resilient and tight-knit family, THE GLASS CASTLE is a remarkable story of unconditional love. Oscar® winner Brie Larson brings Jeannette Walls’s best-selling memoir to life as a young woman who, influenced by the joyfully wild nature of her deeply dysfunctional father (Woody Harrelson), found the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.
