Memories of Me is a 1988 American comedy-drama film by director Henry Winkler, starring Billy Crystal, Alan King, and JoBeth Williams.

This was the first theatrically released film directed by Winkler, who had previously directed the TV movie A Smoky Mountain Christmas. Much of it was filmed inside the MGM Studios in Culver City, California, only a few miles from Hollywood.

Plot

After a heart attack, Abbie Polin, a New York doctor, goes to Los Angeles to see his father, Abe, who works in Hollywood as the "king of the extras." Their relationship has been strained for several years.

Lisa, the romantic interest in Abbie's life, also comes for a visit and bonds with Abe, who gets along famously with everyone but his son. Abe begins having memory loss and eventually is diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. He and his son grow closer in time and, before it's too late, Abbie tries to get Abe a speaking role in a film.

Box office

The movie was not a box office success.[5]

gollark: Or maybe to break them out into a separate package.

gollark: I think it would make more sense to drop basically-obsolete algorithms and have a more maintainable and possibly easier to use core.

gollark: Replying to https://discord.com/channels/477910221872824320/477911902152949771/748623798198206537Oh good. What sort of stuff will it contain?

gollark: It doesn't seem to use space very efficiently, and I don't like rounded corners, personally.

gollark: If I were to implement this "bootable CraftOS" thing, it would have a simple program run in the background to let CC run commands and access files and stuff (via websocket).
