Some families have literally gone through hell and back. They’ve had everything taken away including their life. They say Patience is a virtue. Imagine waiting decades and fighting with everything you had to reclaim your heritage and seek justice for what happened to your family? That’s just what Maria Altmann, played by Academy Award winner Helen Mirren, did.
Woman In Gold Available on Blu-ray™, DVD & Digital HD on July 7th is a powerful film based on a true story of one woman’s journey to reclaim her heritage and seek justice for what happened to her family. Sixty years after she fled Vienna during World War II, an elderly Jewish woman, Maria Altmann (Helen Mirren), starts her journey to retrieve family possessions seized by the Nazis, among them Gustav Klimt’s famous painting Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Together with her inexperienced but plucky young lawyer Randy Schoenberg (Ryan Reynolds), she embarks upon a major battle which takes them all the way to the heart of the Austrian establishment and the U.S. Supreme Court, and forces her to confront difficult truths about the past along the way.
WOMAN IN GOLD is rated PG-13 for some thematic elements and brief strong language with a running time of 109 minutes. Blu-ray™ and DVD special features include “The Making of WOMAN IN GOLD,” “Feature commentary with Director Simon Curtis and Producer David M. Thompson” and “Stealing Klimt Documentary Trailer,” with an additional piece “Neue Galerie New York Press Conference” available on the Blu-ray™ and Digital Download.

Something wonderful about my family? Well, my cousin just backed out of performing on the Miss USA pageant because of Donald Trump’s comments about Mexicans. He received a great deal of press last week because of it. It’s amazing to read about him on so many web sites and the last time I saw him he was a charismatic 11 year old kid.

Starla B says
This is going to be so incredible to watch. So touching. My Nana literally had to go through so much growing up. She was the oldest of 10 kids and was basically the mother. She ended up losing her mother at the age of 24. I don’t know how she did it, but she is so amazing. Also, my grandfather escaped Germany and fled to America!
Chantelle Walker says
My grandparents met as teens, their fathers owned “rival” restaurants on the same street. Its a long story but for two weeks my grandpa had to work off a punishment and had to go to her restaurant as repayment. Thats how they got to know each other better. lol I always get a kick out of thinking of it.

My maternal grandmother has a really mixed heritage, her mother was Native American and never spoke much English and her father (my grandmother’s) had a white father. So we have a very mixed heritage.

My long distant ancestors (two cousins) on my mother’s side named Ruggles & Hall encountered John Wilkes Booth on the roadside in Virginia as he fled 12 days after after having assassinated President Lincoln. It is they who directed the Union soldiers in pursuit to the barn where Booth was killed and his accomplice captured. Ironically they were both recently decommissioned and were walking home (to Massachusetts!) so were considered not entitled to any of the bounty that was paid out by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton.
