Once Upon a Time
On Tuesday, April 15, 2003, at 5:01 PM EST, this place was reserved for later use.
It now seems an appropriate spot to put Maurice Rapf, a screenwriter, a blacklisted Communist fellow-traveler, and later a professor of film studies at Dartmouth, his alma mater.
Rapf died on April 15, 2003, at the age of 88.
He contributed to the screenplay for Disney's "Cinderella" (1950). According to his Washington Post obituary, "he said he gave the character of Cinderella a spirit of class struggle."
Rapf described his Hollywood childhood in Back Lot: Growing Up With the Movies, 1999.
"A dream is a wish your heart makes."
