welcome to another episode of the old soul movie podcast a show that features backgrounds reviews and reflections of some of the most influential movies ever made and now your hosts

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Old Soul Movie Podcast.

Today we have a very, very special episode, one that I have just been so excited to record.

We have an extremely special guest with us, Cindy Mitchum.

Cindy Mitchum is the daughter of John Mitchum and the niece of Robert Mitchum.

Today, Cindy will be talking about some of her family stories, some personal accounts of her dad, her uncle, some behind-the-scenes fun facts of these two incredible actors.

Her father is also the author of an incredible book called The Ornery Mitchum Boys, which is an autobiography of the account of their lives and how they got into the Hollywood world.

I absolutely love this book.

I'm so excited to dive into the book a little bit, dive into the family stories a little bit.

I just really get to know these two incredible actors on a more personal level.

Cindy, welcome to the show.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This is going to be fun.

I'm looking forward to it.

I have just been blown away by your family stories.

Your uncle and your father are just incredible.

Some of the Robert Mitchum movies out there in old Hollywood are some of my all-time favorite movies in general.

So I was pretty excited to read some of the behind-the-scenes fun facts in The Mournery Mitchum Boys.

But for starters, let's just get a lay of the land of your family, because I don't think a lot of people realize, but it's really quite, quite just the all-American tale, honestly.

It is.

It is.

It really is.

So tell us about the dynamics.

Who's in your family? Tell us a little bit about your dad and your uncle, where they started their life, where they grew up, and we'll kind of go through the tale of how they got to the all-American dream of Hollywood.

Yeah.

Wonderful.
