I asked another question like this. Sorry I did'nt have time to answer back. Grant this is a tent meeting revival, but what if we applied it to our churches. Favorite charater besides Gantry, George boy the 32 degree mason.

no, it has not

Everyone remembers Shirley Jones as the rock mom who led "The Partridge Family" -- the TV series has been in continuous circulation for the past 40 years -- but did you know that she was a Hollywood barrier-breaker of the 1960s?

When the 1950s were ending, the actress-singer was known primarily as the sweet young star of two big Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals ("Oklahoma" and "Carousel"), so Jones' decision to play the prostitute Lulu Barnes in the 1960 film " Elmer Gantry " set off shock waves.

Along with Alfred Hitchcock 's "Psycho," which came out during the same year, "Elmer Gantry" changed the public's conception of what was acceptable in a mainstream movie, and opened the door to "Dr. Strangelove," "Bonnie & Clyde" and all of the other revolutionary '60s classics.

Jones was rewarded for her efforts with an Oscar (beating her fellow barrier- breaker, Janet Leigh who was nominated for "Psycho").

The star will be at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield Sunday afternoon, Oct. 16, to talk about "Elmer Gantry" and all of the other milestones in her remarkable career.
