Petula Clark Headed for Wiarton
It's quite a story, really: it's 1946 and a major motion picture was to premier in Tobermory, of all places, with a massive gala that included the young starlet of the film, Petula Clark. Now, 63 years later, to celebrate the CD release, Paul Kastner thought, "Why not do it up right?" ..
Clark is to appear at 7 p. m. Sept. 18 at the 400-seat Peninsula Shores Performing Arts Centre. She will talk about making the movie, its late stars, her wartime role as a child entertainer performing to 200 Allied Forces camps in Britain, her 40 some movies, and subsequent singing career with more than 60 million records sold worldwide. In January, she released a new DVD of love songs.
I Know Where I'm Going starred Wendy Hiller and Roger Livesey. Film critic Barry Norman has listed it among the all time top 100 movies.
Ms Clark is accepting no money for the event, and all proceeds are to go to the Miracle Place -- our first affordable rental apartment housing project expected to begin construction next fall. (Is that Kirkland's revamped Wiarton HS?) Further details can be found at PetulaClarkInWiarton.com
