Jennifer, thanks so very much for sharing, what a great experience with interviewing the real one. . . . anyways on a side comment, I can say you have watched the movie a gazzelion times !!! same here . . . . 😂 what’s the giveaway, you practically were relaying the movie frame by frame . . . . I know, that’s cause I could follow your story-telling. . .. and I must say. It was an accurate rendition . . . .bravo. . .
Brilliant minds get together for a chat and we reap the benefits of your memories and sage insight, wisdom, perspective grounded in "real life"...not a scripted Hollywood sound stage.
Thank you Jennifer for sharing the story. What great memories! And now more “truthful” parts of this family’s story will be known because of this show and your fantastic talents.
This type of show is a reminder of how the digital reality presented by Hollywood is carefully curated and every detail is scripted to fit someone’s agenda. They have the power to shape our reality if we don’t exercise our tenets of thinking and ask questions.
What great storytelling, Jennifer! I particularly liked how you differentiated the true story from the Hollywood version. While I've not seen this movie, I loved hearing about its beauty. The song Edelweiss reminded me of the opening sound track of The Man in the High Castle, which, combined with the visuals, was particularly creepy. So a juxtaposition --> a beautiful movie infiltrated by the song Edelweiss.
What a great presentation Jennifer! - So many gems here on good storytelling, using your gifts, overcoming the odds, etc. I will listen to this again and share it.
It was so interesting to see the comparison of a true life story vs the false narrative media driven version. I enjoyed every minute of it. Well done Jennifer!
Very, very good show. It was enlightening, captivating as well as entertaining. It's a shame that the movie was so watered down from the truth. All movies have ulterior motive.
Your big heart makes your name an oxymoron, there's nothing small about the sharpness of your wit and memory. I too have childhood experiences up at Okemo mtn, with my father's corporate friends and trailside condo. My snowplow skiing remains a hallmark of my youth. ==Duke
Just got the chance to watch this most informative and entertaining interview, that I agree with others should be made available for posterity’s sake - such a fabulous job Jennifer, with mention of Juxta’s par excellence hosting as well. I had a math professor back in 1978 who knew Maria and her family well, and he shared with our class the same point that the movie depiction of her was not accurate - and that she had quite a brilliant business acumen, yet also so gracious. Thanks again, Tom

Working on this video enabled me to travel back in time and remember how much I loved Vermont.
Stowe, Vermont, is truly a beautiful place.

Many thanks! That's an interesting detail about Maria from your math teacher. Yes, she was a very savvy businesswoman, I agree.
Thank you, much appreciated!
