thanks to Paul Levine for making me aware of this movie
from new york magazine
As a kid growing up on the Lower East Side, Jack Beers became known on vaudeville as "New York City's Strongest Boy." Later, he worked as a dog trainer and had small roles in Tootsie and Ghost Busters. In this clip from the documentary on his life airing tonight on PBS, a 94-year-old Beers navigates GPS, takes a shower, and rips a phone book into thirds with his bare hands. "We did it in one take," director David Wachs says.
This is the director of the film, David Wachs. Thanks for putting this up here. All are welcome to visit our site at www.holesinmyshoes.com There you can find a way to see trailers, purchase the DVD and find out more info on Jack Beers.
