Reg Hartt: The CineForum (aka THE Public Enemy)

“Reg Hartt is an island unto himself,” a fellow was told. The comment was not meant as a compliment. Every kick is a free boost forward. Thich Nhat Hanh has written, “When he was eighty, the Buddha knew that he was going to pass away in a few months, and he knew that his disciples were going to miss him. During the last six months, around the city of Vaisali, he used to talk to the monks and the nuns about taking refuge within yourself. The expression is atadipa. Ata means self, dipa means island. When you go back to that island, you experience peace and stability. The Buddha is there, the Dharma is there, and the Sangha is there.” Yes, Reg Hartt IS an island unto himself.

Grim Natwick, famed for his work on Max Fleischer’s Betty Boop and Walt Disney’s SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS celebrated his 90th and 92 birthday in Toronto. When he turned 100 I bought this ad which resulted in one helluva party. Tom Sito and Tisse David were both pivotal. Sunday, August 16th is Grim’s birthday. I’m remembering it with a special program. Only in Toronto.
