Welcome to the Ann Tucker Blog!

Welcome to my personal blog. Thanks to my son for building this neat blog page. I decided I wanted to give my thoughts and words to the world and hope they have some meaning and memories to grandparents (and others) everywhere. I am a retired civil servant (35.5 years with the Department of the Air Force), mother of two and grandmother of five. My maiden name was Scaling and I was married to Tilford N. Tucker. I raised and put two great children through college so I have a lot of experiences to build on. After retirement I became a webmaster (working for my son) for some of our family websites: ShaggyDuck
Have a fun time and a great day, bookmark this site and come back often!!!!

"The Killer Inside Me" Movie


Racks of 1950s-style clothing were brought into Enid’s First Baptist Church for the extras. Lots of 50s style cars appeared on the square. The local police had the whole square cordoned off so local traffic would not bother the filming. Enid’s downtown Square was abuzz about the filming that would occur around the Garfield County Court House. Businesses around the Square were visited by officials from the production company, and some had temporary changes made to their store fronts. Movie officials filled the front windows at Serendipity with 1950s items, and employees at the home decor store were happy to clear out their front window for the sake of the film. The gowns in the window of The Bridal Shop Downtown were replaced during filming with gowns from the 1950s. The film, 'The Killer Inside Me' is scheduled to be released next year and is based on a novel written by Oklahoma native Jim Thompson. The film will star Casey Affleck (above picture in white shirt and cowboy hat), Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Simon Baker, Bill Pullman and Ned Beatty.

That is very cool. The traffic can sometimes get messed up with filming but it's so darn fun to see your hometown in the movies!!! Woo-hoo!
And the Oscar goes to.....

I worked in the town where they filmed "Driving Mrs. Daisy" and it's always fun to see your town on the movie screen... of course, it's also scary to think producers see your town as being back in the 50s.
I'll have to check that movie out next year!
