“June, show this young actor around.”
As they tour the studio, the actress cast as the 7-year-old’s TV mom whispers, “He likes you.”
But this set is different from what the aspiring Timmy saw in the 1950s reruns he watched:
Bunkers, no barn. Lots of barbed wire. Inside the house a painting of an X, ends bent at right angles. Also a red flag with a blue X and stars.
“I don’t understand,” the boy says.
The actress sighs. “A man who once was president bought the studio and show. Everything’s changing.”
