From Pryor To Hollywood
Rosie Hartman, a 1980 graduate of Pryor High School, lived her dream recently as she attended the Hollywood premier of the movie “Cutlass”, which just happens to be a movie based on Hartman’s wheeling and dealing for a 1977 Cutlass Supreme with T-tops during the fall of 1979.
Hartman won the Glamour Magazine Reel Moments essay contest sponsored by Clinque Happy with her story of a lesson she learned from her father, Jack Porter.
Hartman’s story was selected from a group of 100 potential movie plots by Kate Hudson, Rita Wilson and Kirsten Dunst. The story were serve as their directorial debut.
The film stars Chevy Chase, Dakota Fanning, Virginia Madsen, Kurt Russell, Sarah Roemer and Kristin Stewart.
Melissa McClendon staff writer for The Daily Times does a great job of bring both the story of the Cutlass and the movie to life. It is one well worth the read.
