Show Notes

Paul Lipparelli is going to make us an offer we can’t refuse. Well…he’s going to share with us a story we can’t refuse. If you don’t know Paul, he is a local Washoe County resident and former Assistant DA, who at the age 11 was in the iconic movie, The Godfather Part II.  

Paul will share his experience singing in the all-boys choir featured in the Lake Tahoe scene. In addition, he will provide tales from behind the scenes of the only motion picture sequel to win an Oscar for Best Picture.  You’ll come away believing to “keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.” 

This double feature show concludes with Robin Holabird, former Deputy Director of the Nevada Film Office.  Robin describes how working with the film industry has brought about filming in our region and produced movies such as The Godfather Part II, Sister Act, Top Gun, The Misfits, The Cooler and many more.  You’ll learn that Hollywood does recognize the beauty and attractiveness of Nevada.
