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.
