From Page Six in Today's New York Post:

SECOND CAREER
FORGET fashion — Tommy Hilfiger's freshest foray is film. The designer and his daughter, former reality-TV "Rich Girl" Ally Hilfiger, have collaborated to produce "Proud," a story of African-American sailors during World War II. The historical drama, directed by Mary Pat Kelly, debuts Saturday at the Tribeca Film Festival. "These sailors were treated poorly in the U.S.," Hilfiger told PAGE SIX's Lisa Marsh, "while they were treated like heroes in Ireland, where they were stationed." "It was a completely new world for me," Ally said. While she's concentrating on her painting, she'd said she'd like to produce another movie someday.

Thanks for sharing. That's an interesting collaboration especially since she did the Rich Girls documentary--I figured she was all glamour and glitz. I'd love to see it.

I'm from Seattle and read about this and found your blog through the movie website. Is the movie coming out here any time soon?
