I've been watching Julia (on HBO Max) about Julia Child and her WGBH show. So far they have 4 episodes up.
Last week I watched the 2021 West Side Story movie. Liked it a lot. I was thinking I liked it better than the 1961. The next night I watched the 1961 one which is also streaming on HBO Max. There are some things I love on that one.
Also watched a documentary on youtube "The Making of West Side Story" which is about Leonard Bernstein recording it with opera singers Kiri Te Kanawa, Tatiana Troyanos, Jose Carerras and Kurt Ollman in 1984. Noticed that one of my flute teachers was in the contract orchestra (2nd flute -- Julius Baker played 1st flute). They didn't show the flutes that much, so I couldn't see who the 3rd flutist was. (You probably know that Leonard Bernstein wrote the music.)
