Dreams can come true!  One of our Writers' Cafe supporters, Mary Grace Dembeck, has had a short story made into a 30-minute movie by British director, Jack Ryder. Act of Memory, based on an incident from Mary Grace's life and originally set in Brooklyn, has been transposed to England in 1948. The film stars Anna Massey, Claire Skinner and Grace Cooper Milton. It will be shown on British TV this Christmas.

Multi-talented Mary Grace Dembeck has exhibited paintings at The National Academy of Design
in New York City. Her writing has been published in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal
and Reader’s Digest. She is also the author of a collection of children’s poetry, MOONSNACKS
And Assorted Nuts, and she delights in the Steve Allen quote found in the back of the book.
She has collaborated on a number of songs with renowned singer Maureen McGovern, many of which were turned into  the children's musical The Bengal Tiger's Ball, and performed in Florida.
