“Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail.” – Theodore Dreiser, Life, Art, and America, 1917
Wowsa! An Indie movie is being made with a true backstory inspired by the writers’ friend who is battling Multiple Myeloma – Marcie Aboulafia. Her character is the mother of the boxer who comes out of retirement to fight again to help save his mother in her battle with MM. I will look forward to its release.
You can read more about it here: Five Good Years
Of Note: Sugar Ray Leonard’s father has MM and he is signed on to the film.
