To me, he'll always be the six-foot-something transsexual former football player from The World According to Garp. Oh, Roberta.
But starting in June on Turner Classic Movies, John Lithgow will be the host of a series of family-friendly films on the "Essentials, Jr."
The series will run Sundays throughout the summer, starting June 7 with the classic musical Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942).
Lithgow, in addition to being a warm and compelling screen presence, has also written a number of extremely successful children's books and even music, so he's a pretty good choice. Here's what's coming in June, if you're a set-the-TiVo type:
June 7: Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942)
June 14: To Have and Have Not (1944)
June 21: Father of the Bride (1950)
une 28: The Philadelphia Story (1940)
