ABOUT THE MOVIE:
Rock Hudson and Doris Day, two of the screen's most popular and enduring stars, light up the screen in "Pillow Talk." When Jan Morrow (Doris Day), uptight interior decorator, is forced to share a party line with carefree playboy Brad Allen (Rock Hudson), there's no connection between them. But when the two accidentally meet, the smitten Brad pretends to be a wealthy Texan, wooing Jan with seductive late-night calls. Their phone line is sizzling until Jan discovers her caller's true identity and calls his bluff. Nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Actress, this enjoyable romp co-stars Tony Randall (TV's "The Odd Couple") and is the film that brought Rock Hudson and Doris Day together for the first time!

The United Way of Jasper County is launching its new "Voices of Inspiration: Speaker Series" and is excited to announce Newton resident, historian, writer and entrepreneur Mike Chapman as the featured speaker on Thursday, May 16.
A native of Waterloo, Iowa, Chapman retired from a 35-year newspaper career in 2002 and in 2009 retired from an 11-year career serving as the executive director of the Dan Gable International Wrestling Institute and Museum (DGIWIM). Currently he writes books and gives speeches on a wide variety of topics, ranging from Iowa history to the sport of wrestling and to Greek mythology and the Trojan War. He has written 32 books, 17 of them on wrestling, and his articles have appeared in dozens of national and regional magazines. He also wrote the official biography of the nation’s longest serving state governor – Terry Branstad. He has produced four videos and has two screenplays in Hollywood. He has also been featured in a number of documentaries including “Kinnick: The Documentary.” Chapman also created the “Iowa History Journal” and “W.I.N.” publications. He resides in Newton with his wife Bev.
Chapman will share his story of visiting the site of ancient Troy and standing on the tomb of Achilles and how it spurred a freelance writing career. The event will be at the 325-seat state-of-the art auditorium at DMACC – Newton Campus. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the program beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The event is open to all with a free-will admission collected to help continue and grow the speaker series.
