I hope Linda is seen a little more than in the trailer. I know his dating Linda was just a segment of his life but still had a lot of publicity.

I'm looking forward to watching because JB was such a maverick and ahead of his time.

Two minutes of Linda, some familiar (Africa magazine covers, live intro to “My Boyfriend’s Back”), some Jerry press comments that I hadn’t seen before. Nothing about their later/current friendship. Overall theme—“very close” and “good for each other” but “two stars couldn’t exist in the same place.” I didn’t remember that he served four terms as Governor of California and ran for and lost President three times (1976, 1980, 1992) and Senate (1982), and worked with Mother Theresa. Overall impression—integrity, honesty, a good man. I get it, Linda.

I remember an interview with Linda — it might have been the one with Patt Morrison shown on PBS — in which Linda talks about remaining friends with Jerry Brown. Linda said that she was going to Rosemary Clooney’s house for dinner (I believe this was in the 1990s) and before Linda left her own house, Jerry Brown showed up. Linda called Rosemary to ask if she could bring Jerry Brown with her and Rosemary said yes. Jerry Brown didn’t want to show up without bringing something. Linda said that someone had sent her (Linda) roses but Jerry Brown took them to give to Rosemary Clooney. I think it shows that Linda and Jerry Brown remained good friends.
As someone who was in college when Linda was “seeing” Jerry Brown I remember that it made some people take Jerry Brown less seriously.

I think one of the reasons Jerry and Linda got along so well was because they're both totally authentic--being passionate about their work, freely expressing their opinions, having strong core values, and presenting themselves honestly to the outside world.
