    Well, kiss our grits! Our "Mother's May" celebration continues with a TV Mom-- a widow with a young son who became one of television's most beloved mother figures, Alice Hyatt. "Alice" wasn't just another sitcom—it was a cultural touchstone that made Linda Lavin a household name and introduced us to unforgettable characters who felt like family.

  • Selective Memories: “I Remember Mama” (1948)

    Selective Memories: “I Remember Mama” (1948)
    May 14 2025

    It’s an interesting Mother’s Day celebration today, as we discuss our two very different experiences with George Steven’s 1948 masterpiece, “I Remember Mama”, the story of the everyday struggles and triumphs of a Norwegian immigrant family in 1910 San Francisco. At the heart of this story stands Mama, portrayed by the extraordinary Irene Dunne in what would be her fifth and final Oscar nominated performance. Dunne brings remarkable authenticity to this character—a woman who manages household finances with military precision yet approaches her family with boundless tenderness.
