Bill T. @btreakle 1d “Ricky Nelson:Original Teen Idol. This film was kind of biopic movie about Ricky Nelson and really his whole family. The Nelson family started on television 14 years on a family show called Ozzie and Harriet. But this biopic is mainly about Rick Nelson who was America’s original teen idol in the 60s very popular that time frame. But this is more than just a musical biopic this is a story of the rise of fame as a teen idol to the free falling of a musician who once was at the top of the charge and slowly begin to decline. I think the actors who portrayed Ozzie and Harriet and Dave and Ricky Nelson did a pretty good job at that so I think any fans of that particular time an artist we'll enjoy this biopic See more Robert H @RT67230581 09/25/2023 Missed a few key points, but if you lived through that era, you should appreciate it.
