Jon Boorstin I was working for the MP Academy, writing an early draft of a history of the movies for their upcoming Movie Museum. I was looking for people whose lives tell the story of the movies, and I saw that the very early years, when it was all done for the first time, were an excellent window into what the movies are, and how it feels to shape them, and what it costs to fall in love with them. And Mabel jumped out for her energy, her honesty, her smarts, and her tragic tale, which told the story of the movies in miniature. She lived the first turn of the wheel that's been turning ever since.
