Bob Blackburn (Author)
When Bob Blackburn, the son of Pacific N.W. sportscasting legend Bob Blackburn, moved to Hollywood, CA. in March of 1989, little did he know how his life would change. Renting a small studio apartment in the heart of Hollywood to be near his radio job, he attended an Ed Wood, Jr. Film Festival in 1992 and saw a documentary on Ed that changed his life. A petite woman, “Kathy Wood-Ed Wood’s widow” was interviewed for this, and Bob recognized her as a neighbor in his building. A few months later he was told about a movie titled Ed Wood, starring Johnny Depp and directed by Tim Burton. His contact with, and help, brought a new friendship with Kathleen O’Hara Wood, “Ed Wood’s Widow”. That continued to her passing in 2006 and to this day. A story of friendship, cult movies and a cross-dressing anti-hero.
This is Bob’s story of discovering the world of the “Worst Director of All Time”, and an unlikely friendship.
