The Arm & Hammer Company was not founded by Armand Hammer. It was in fact founded 31 years before his birth. He was, however, a major stock-holder in the company. He invested so deeply simply because he was so often asked if he founded it.
My Dad worked his entire career as a repairman for AT&T, most of it in Western NY State. In 68 or 69, he was sent to Manhattan for a few months. One day, he drew a ticket for a job in Harlem. NY headquarters of The Black Panther Party. Touching history.
I think it heartbreaking that Philip Seymour Hoffman and Mark Rylance never worked together. Matthew Warchus directed them both and certainly thought of them as artists with a deep kinship.
