Breakfast with Mom

Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom!

Today I want to tell you the story about Lora Lee Michel. Lora Lee Michel is an American former child actress. She appeared in several feature films during the Golden Age of Hollywood in the late 1940s and early 1950s. In 1950, she was the focus of a custody dispute in Beverly Hills, California, in which she alleged that her adoptive mother had beaten and starved her.

Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom!
Today I want to tell you about Jayne Mansfield and the mandate for tractor trailers to be equipped with the rear bumper bar.

Jayne Mansfield was a very iconic American actress, singer, nightclub entertainer, and Playboy Playmate. A sex symbol of the 1950s and early 1960s while under contract at 20th Century Fox, Mansfield was known for her well-publicized personal life and publicity stunts. Her film career was short-lived, but she had several box-office successes and won a Theatre World Award and a Golden Globe Award. While this is well and good this episode is not about her resume, this will be about her death and how that led to government regulations to have tractor trailers be equipped with a rear bumper bar.

Hello everyone and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom!
Today I want to tell you about a very confusing story. Today’s story comes with trigger warnings, we will touch on murder and suicide, please listen with caution. My resources can be found in the show notes.

Scott Ruffalo was born on February 1, 1969 to parents Frank Lawrence and Marie Rose Ruffalo in Kenosha Wisconsin. He had two sisters, Tania and Nicole, and a brother, Mark. Scott would follow in his mom’s footsteps by becoming a hairstylist in 1991. Sometime in the late 80’s or early 90’s the Ruffalo family would move to San Diego and then to Los Angeles. Scott would work as a hairstylist for various salons in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, one such salon would be the internationally known Giuseppe Franco Salon, this salon is called “the salon to the stars”. In 2001 Scott would start his own salon called Ruff Inc. Scott was a well known and liked stylist, he was also known as the younger brother to Mark Ruffalo, *** yes that Mark Ruffalo, as in 13 going on 30 and of course the MCU’s Bruce Banner aka The Hulk***

Hello and welcome back to “Breakfast with Mom”!
In today's episode we will talk about season 2 of the HBO show Perry Mason and the true crime story that inspired the season. In this episode we will compare and contrast the true crime story and the fictionalized story. As of the recording of this episode season 2 has not yet wrapped so we have no idea how the season will end. If you have not watched the season and do not want spoilers I recommend that you do not listen to this episode; otherwise you have been warned.

Perry Mason is an American period drama television series created by Rolin Jones and Ron Fitzgerald for HBO. It is based on the novels by Erle Stanley Gardner, which was later made into a television series in the 50’s and 60’s where the title character was played by the wonderful Raymond Burr. The HBO series stars Matthew Rhys in the title role and premiered on June 21, 2020. Season 2 premiered on March 6th 2023.

Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom.
Today I want to tell you about Anna Moore, she was the first immigrant to pass through Ellis Island, New York. For those of you that do not know or remember, Ellis Island is a federally owned island in New York Harbor, situated within the U.S. states of New Jersey and New York, that was the busiest immigrant inspection and processing station in the United States. From 1892 to 1954, nearly 12 million immigrants arriving at the Port of New York and New Jersey were processed there under federal law. Today, it is part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument and is accessible to the public only by ferry. The north side of the island is the site of the main building, now a national museum of immigration. The south side of the island, including the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital, is open to the public only through guided tours.
