And the Beat Goes On : The Sonny and Cher Story (1999)

Made for ABC, airing February 22nd in the US.

Filmed entirely in California.

Based on truths. ( from Sonny Bono's autobiography)

The story: In 1961, in Encino, California, Sonny Bono was working as a delivery man.

But what he was really interested in was music, and Phil Spector was his idol.

Sonny had a friend, Buddy, who worked for a record label, and Sonny spent as much time there as possible, always peddling songs he wrote.

After some time, Buddy invited Sonny on a double date with him. That's when Sonny met Cher. But she was not Sonny's date.

Soon Sonny was seeking out Cher, and when he found that she needed a place to stay, he invited her to stay with him.

Little did he know at that time, Cher was just 16 years old.

Living together, while Sonny worked to pay the bills and Cher cleaned the house, Sonny returned home one day to find Cher singing and her voice amazing.

Cher told Sonny she wanted to be famous. Sonny told Cher she deserved to be famous.

At the studio with Sonny one day, Phil Spector needed a backup singer.

Sonny convinced him to use Cher, but she had stage fright, so Sonny stayed with her, and the result was perfection.

When Sonny asked if Phil would take Cher on as a talent, he refused. So Sonny took matters into his own hands, and soon the couple was performing in nightclubs together as a duo.

That is how they got their break, and the result was their first hit record together.

But after a year, they were dropped and forced to reinvent themselves.

Sonny wrote songs and movies, producing everything himself just to keep some money rolling in.

But it took just a few more years to really make their dreams a reality, putting the two on the map forever.

The Beanie Bubble (2023)

Made for Apple TV+, released on instant streaming July 28th in the US.

Filmed entirely in Georgia.

Based on truths.

The story: In 1983, struggling toy salesman Ty Warner met, by chance, struggling Robbie (AKA Patricia Roche).

Ty was the child of a toy salesman, and Robbie was a mechanic who had many childhood aspirations.

The two became quick friends and decided to go into business together, selling stuffed animal cats...

After some time, they attended a toy convention which helped their business take off.
By 1993, Ty and Robbie's business became Ty Inc., and that's when they began manufacturing what is known to the world today as Beanie Babies.

Ty and Robbie, by now, were an off-again/on-again couple, as well as business partners.

After the 5 years that college student Maya (AKA Lina Trivedi) was on board at Ty Inc., she introduced Ty to internet sales, which really helped the business.

While having windows put into his new house, Ty met and fell in love with saleswoman/single mother Sheila (AKA Faith McGowan).

By now, Ty had a complicated relationship with Robbie, mostly because of him trying to oust her from Ty Inc. and his commitment to Maya, as his right-hand man was also beginning to dwindle.

Sheila wanted to just live her life single and raise her two daughters the best she could.

Ty convinced her, while allowing her children to fall in love with him through his stuffed animals, that he was the one for her.

It didn't hurt Ty Inc. that Sheila's daughters were the ones to create some of the very first/top-selling Beanie Babies.

But it all came crashing down around Ty when he began using and manipulating the ones who helped him soar.
