Gloria was my Dad's cousin. His mom...Hi David,<br /><br />Gloria was my Dad's cousin. His mom, my grandmother was one of 9 "Wood -pile", as we're known, kids. Robert and my grandmother were brother and sister. A friend of mine, Aaron Mintz, wrote the definitive article about Gloria, for Dicoveries magazine ... I'm trying to find a PDF reprint of it. I was lucky enough to talk to her on the phone with Aaron (back in '91). She and Donna are certainly the pride of the family.Aaron's article was titled "Woman of 1,000 voices".

Right now I'm doing a series of podcasts of the book that I wrote about them WHERE THE WOODS WERE... It is a time travel, historical, big band, real life people type of novel and everything in it is true ... the people are real and they really existed and I'm interviewing the real people in the present that remember how I was into Donna & Gloria Wood and I also wanted to say that they are with me always, like angels and I've brought them back and I've even written an extra chapter about Josh White who was the father of folk music and I'm working with his grandson Josh White III... Thank you I hope everything's good and I think you did change the picture I have better pictures you could use but that's fine and have a good day thank you.Leslie Siegelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17616940960805031810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-18905534032529933282019-03-30T12:04:51.726-07:002019-03-30T12:04:51.726-07:00Thanks, I corrected the pic.

An older man called my job at The Hollywood Reporter and said he had a great story about his wife GLORIA WOOD and her sister DONNA WOOD and had stuff at his house to prove it. So I went there with my then boyfriend and he gave us about 20 boxes of everything Gloria and Donna Wood! I still have a lot of the stuff. I gave some of it to the Broadcast Museum in NYC because of the recordings and photos and that they were so rare. Also, gave away a lot of it as gifts back to the Wood family. I knew Virginia Wood and we had a phone and pen pal relationship from 1996 all the way to 2011 when she passed. I never really met either sister, or Virginia in the flesh, but they left a lasting impression on me. You should read my book about them Robert.

Please note that you are looking at GLORIA STEVENS who would sometimes get mistaken for Gloria Wood. Please replace it with a real photo of Gloria Wood, not Gloria Stevens. I also wrote a nice book about Gloria and her sister Donna Wood, also a big band singer of the Forties who died mysteriously, killed by her pharmacist !!!! Just google WHERE THE WOODS WERE and it will be there. Thanks and change that photo.<br />Leslie Siegelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17616940960805031810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-74943578292516578702018-09-13T18:51:50.540-07:002018-09-13T18:51:50.540-07:00I am currently 87 born in 1931.

Since I was a teenager I was always highly impressed with her singing and watching that move brought back lovely memories of her. The move was Sex and The Single Girl Natalie Wood & Tony Curtis.Robert Riveranoreply@blogger.com
