FORMER PHILADELPHIA EAGLES LINEBACKER JEREMIAH TROTTER STARS IN Tinsel & Tine attended Philadelphia Red Carpet Premiere held at the Perelman Theater at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday, September 17th for THE NORTH STAR, starring former Philadelphia Eagles Linebacker Jeremiah Trotter. The movie was filmed in Bucks County, PA over 24 days during the summer of 2012. In my 20’s I belonged to a long standing community playhouse in Buckingham PA. called Town & Country Players.

Learning to Drive Film Commentary By Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor, Linda Visconti My mother never drove.
