...many of us at this age sit on boards and commissions to talk about what to do with our youth without much direct contact with them," Selby says...
That understood, the Clericuzios, the Corleone-like family around which this saga revolves, still seem to be an awfully heartless bunch. The story is set in motion when Rose Marie (played in her youth by Emily Hampshire and later as an embittered nutbag by Kirstie Alley) falls for a young man in the rival Santadio family.
