Maxwell Perkins - the talk of Hollywood

Seems that we aren't the only Max Perkins fans these days, as Sean Penn is in talks to play Perkins in a new movie based on a biography of Perkins. The book, "Maxwell Perkins: Editor of Genius" won a National Book Award when it was published in 1978 and has recently been re-released.



Of course, here at the Snapdragon we feel it is imperative that character research be conducted at Perkins' home, and we welcome Mr. Penn and the rest of the cast to stop in, relax on the porch, stroll the woods around Lake Runnemede, and soak in the history of Perkins where it happened. And if they can't make it, so be it - more room for you to do the same!

It really is interesting to me the timing of things like this. The home, the book, have all been around for over thirty years, but just now they are thinking of making a movie. I hope it happens. I think it would be wonderful for the Perkins relatives as well as for Windsor...and it wouldn't hurt the Snapdragon to have a few more Perkins fans swing by either.
