  • Phyllis Boyens played the small part of the 'Postmaster/busybody', in 'The Doll Maker' .

  • Thanks for posting this lovely song by your very talented and beautiful family member. I feel privileged to view this video. And thanks, Barb, for the share.

  • @morganmay1 : The Dollmaker is an excellent book, and the movie, starring Jane Fonda, followed the book pretty closely. One of my favorites. Do you know which part Phyllis Bovens played? Thanks for the info.

  • @cjthemusicman Chuck - My cursor wandered over and clicked your comment negative. Sorry!!

  • Thank you for sharing this with me, Barb.

    A very nice visit, indeed.

    :)

    Aunt Phyllis was in 1 other movie, which starred Jane Fonda called "The Doll Maker" an excellent film!

  • I remember the weekend nights visiting with my grandparents. Out on the front porch being rock by g.maw Molly and listening to the voices as they carried on the night air and blended in story and song. Three of our most endearing family members who hold such tremendous places in my heart and memories.

    They are greatly missed!

  • phyllis is my sons grandmother she is surely missed my son couldnt have asked for a better grandmother or i a better mother-in-law glad you all posted this also tring to reach her cousin carol if anyones how to reach her thanks

  • love the singing!

  • Despite everyone looking so serious in this video, I must say that my great-grandpa Nimrod's laugh, and great-grandma Molly's quiet little smile are foremost in my childhood memories of them. Phyllis-Sue also had a wonderful smile, and combined mountain culture sentimentality with a bright intelligence. She was good at putting people at their ease.
