Alright, alright, let’s talk about this… uh… Laraine Marie Brennan, yeah, that’s the name. Never met her myself, mind you, but I heard some things, you know, the kind of things folks gossip about over the fence.
So, this Laraine, she was hitched to some big-shot movie fella, Martin something-or-other. Scor-something? Anyways, they was married back in the sixties, long before you young’uns were even a twinkle in your daddy’s eye. Married from 1965 to 1971, they say. That’s a good chunk of time, I reckon, though not as long as me and my old man were together, God rest his soul.
And wouldn’t you know it, they had a little girl together. A daughter, they say. Kids, they grow up so fast, like weeds in the cornfield. One minute they’re in diapers, the next they’re off gallivanting, doing who knows what.
- She was a producer, this Laraine. That means she helped make them picture shows, I think. You know, the ones with all the flashing lights and fancy talkin’.
- I heard she even worked with that Scorsese fella on some of them movies. Guess they got along alright sometimes, even if they did end up splittin’ up. Marriage ain’t easy, let me tell ya. It’s like a stubborn mule, sometimes it just won’t budge.
Now, I ain’t no movie expert, I prefer a good ol’ soap opera myself, but I did hear tell of one picture she made, somethin’ about a fella named Edward Dufner. “Leaving an Impression”, they called it. Came out in 2018, so not too long ago. I reckon it must be one of them artsy-fartsy things, but what do I know? I’m just an old woman who likes her stories simple and her tea strong.
So, this Laraine, she seems like a busy woman, a go-getter. Not like some of these young folks today, always glued to their phones and complainin’ about nothin’. Back in my day, we worked hard and we didn’t have time for such foolishness. We raised our kids, tended our gardens, and made do with what we had.
I don’t know much else about her, to be honest. She ain’t exactly from around these parts, you know? Probably lives in one of them big cities, where the houses are all crammed together and you can’t even see the stars at night. That ain’t no life for me, I tell ya. I like my wide-open spaces, my fresh air, and my peace and quiet.
But hey, she made a name for herself, this Laraine Marie Brennan. She worked hard, raised a family, and even made some movies. That’s more than some folks can say. And who knows, maybe she’s a good person, a kind soul. We all got our stories, our struggles, and our triumphs. And sometimes, it’s nice to hear about someone who made somethin’ of themselves, even if they are a bit of a mystery to folks like me.
So that’s the gist of it, as far as I can tell. Laraine Marie Brennan, a producer, a wife, a mother. A name you might hear whispered in them fancy Hollywood circles, or maybe read in one of them gossip magazines at the grocery store. She left her mark, it seems, just like the rest of us try to do in our own way.
And that’s all I got to say about that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got to go check on my biscuits before they burn. A woman’s work is never done, you know?
