June Juanico introduced me to wine jelly about 20 years ago after she became friends with my mom. June is the author of "Elvis: In the Twilight of Memory," and she was Elvis Presley's girlfriend in 1955 and 1956.
When my niece, Blakelyn, was just a little thing still in elementary school, she and my mom loved nothing more than to pile up with popcorn and watch old movies. From Shirley Temple to Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, they watched nearly every film with song and dance from the Golden Age of cinema. Blakelyn was enthralled not only by the movies themselves but also with hearing mom recount all of the behind-the-scenes, Hollywood stories that accompanied them.
