Mrs. Parker of “The Christmas Story“, played by Melinda Dillon, reminds me so much my mother growing up. I’m convinced that she is part-Cuban.
We grew up between a very tropical Cuba and the snows of Wisconsin.
And I am convinced that Mrs. Parker was really “una mama cubana”! Her ways, the soap in your mouth and everything else convinces me that she was like my mom.
