At 12:45 pm, TCM is going to show The Joe Louis Story
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045936/

In case you didn't know this, he was my great uncle. Here's a pic of Uncle Joe and his nieces... That's my mom sitting on the far right.



Frankly, I don't even know if I can respect a movie that can't even get my own great-grandmother's name right... It's Barrow, not "Barrows".


Ah, such is Hollywood.

1. So if someone, in a future round of "Six Degrees of Mr. Scorpio"...
...challenges you with "legendary heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis," you won't need all six degrees.

Congratulations on your famous great uncle!
