Movie Stars & Rattlesnakes
This lighthearted, fast-paced memoir chronicles Norma's twenty-four years as the host and producer of KRTV's award-winning Today in Montana show, the longest running locally produced program in Montana television history. This anecdotal history begins in 1962 in a Quonset hut and ends in a million-dollar building. Featuring nearly one hundred photographs, this book takes the reader on a journey that starts with Norma's first frightening minutes in front of the camera and details her unique experiences, including a fire on the set, an interview in the old Montana State Prision's "hole," and an encounter with a twelve-foot python.

Ruby Bridges
This critically acclaimed film from "The Wonderful World Of Disney" features an all-star cast and is highlighted by a special introduction by President Clinton and Disney CEO Michael Eisner. The year is 1960. The place, New Orleans, Louisiana. When six-year-old Ruby (Chaz Monet) scores well on her local scholastic tests, she is chosen to be the first African-American student to integrate the local elementary school. Escorted to school by federal marshals, she is exposed to the ugliness of racism for the first time. Guided by the love of her family, the support of a white teacher (Penelope Ann Miller, "Carlito's Way"), and a psychologist (Kevin Pollak, "A Few Good Men"), Ruby ultimately becomes an inspiration to all whose lives she touches. Also starring Lela Rochon ("Waiting To Exhale") and Michael Beach ("Soul Food"), "Ruby Bridges" is a film the entire family should watch together.
The movie was shot entirely on location in Wilmington, North Carolina.
