Anyone who knows me knows that Ann-Margret is my all time favorite – and my favorite movie of hers is Bye Bye Birdie
I remember seeing it in 1964 or 1965 for the first time and it has stayed with me forever – my wife and daughter tolerate my obsession / devotion / fascination with Ann-Margret
This is the novelization of my favorite movie
Allee Willis
I was by no means a fan of musicals growing up but I got hooked on Bye Bye Birdie from the movie when “The Telephone Song” was adapted into a team song at my summer camp as it probably was at summer camps across the country in the mid-60s.
I do think this book was one of the few books I read happily in high school because I wasn’t being tested on it.
