Anyone know Tom Hanks personally? Maybe can get a message to him from the kind folks here in Henderson,KY?
In case you didn’t know. Parts of “A League of Their Own” were filmed in Henderson 25 years ago. Tom Hanks and fellow cast members (including Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell) spent several days here and used one of Henderson’s prominent homes for the boarding house scene in the movie! It was an awesome time and also an honor for Henderson to be a part of such a great movie!
On Saturday Sept. 19th. Henderson Regional Hospital Foundation is hosting a fundraiser called “Movie on Main” featuring the movie “A league of their Own”.
The proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the partnership between Henderson’s own Methodist Hospital and the University of Kentucky’s Markey Cancer Center. The partnership will allow Henderson’s Methodist Hospital to provide state of the art cancer care for the people in our community.
So, if you know Tom Hanks. Could you run this short video clip by him? Henderson would be much obliged to you and if he can attend please ask him (on my be half, this is) to bring Wilson with him too! (It’s a different movie I know, but wasn’t Wilson a cool character?) #MovieOnTheLawn
lol. That little kid is a grown up and recently made a YouTube video explaining what he has done for the past few years and how his auditions usually go… Enjoy!
