A Mountain Lake Journal episode will document the creation of the Jean Arthur mural in her hometown of Plattsburgh, New York.
Mountain Lake Journal presents Jean Arthur's Birthplace Celebrates the Star - A Spotlight Special this holiday season. The
half hour episode explores the legacy of Hollywood actress Jean Arthur,
and the face of Jean Arthur as it appears on a forty-foot high wall.
The
show will highlight the making of the mural from day one when paint
first went on the wall, until day 16, when artist Brendon Palmer-Angell
headed home to New Orleans after successfully completing the project.
The episode also features Spotlight producer Paul Larson's in-depth interview with John Oller, who wrote a biography of Jean Arthur.
