Cool story but…Ed Asner died nearly 2 years ago at the age of 91. Not ‘a few months ago’ as this article states. Not sure how he could have possibly been aware of – or interested in- Ms. O’Regan’s movie. So let’s not please embellish a story with name dropping, particularly those who are no longer here to support or refute the facts.
Story corrected. The author incorrectly had Aug. 2022 in mind as Ed Asner’s date of death when he wrote the article.
Annie Bertson. Ed Asner died within a couple of months of the reading of the script. I was there and saw him in person
He was also in a parade in Caldonia MN
His daughter, Liza, is in the movie and also was in the script reading. This movie has been many years in the making. It is a lovely story. The writer of her own true story is an amazing woman. I honor Jane for her service in the Peace Corps. She was so brave for that service but not mentally or emotionally prepared for what was to come. I think we can all relate to the pain and blessing of a long goodbye. The sharing of this story is a blessing to many of us…we all will find this in some point like it or not
