100 Years… 100 Cheers
Gary is one of a number of big names scheduled to appear this week on “AFI’s 100 Years … 100 Cheers: America’s Most Inspiring Movies.”
“In a continuation of AFI’s celebration of the first 100 years of cinema, ERIN BROCKOVICH, IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE, NORMA RAE, ROCKY, SEABISCUIT, THE SOUND OF MUSIC and hundreds more will vie for the title of Most Inspiring Film of The Century. AFI’s 100 Years . . . 100 Cheers: America’s Most Inspiring Movies will count down America’s 100 most inspiring films, as chosen by experts of the motion picture community…”
As the press release lists Tom Hanks, along with Henry Fonda, as the most represented male actors on the ballot with eight inspiring movies each, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, and The Green Mile make the cut. (And I’d be surprised if one of Henry Fonda’s entries wasn’t The Grapes of Wrath, another story with a strong Sinise connection.)
The special airs this Wednesday, June 14, from 8 to 11 pm EDT/PDT on CBS.
