Wow... the great Judy Blume! Fudge and Superfudge were my favorite! How exciting to finally get to see her!
I remember reading her book when I was a little girl👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Judy Blume. I loved your books so much that they inspired me to write when I was a kid. I'm still writing. Continued blessings, dear lady.
The "Judy Blume Forever" documentary is great! Judy Blume was one of my favorite childhood authors. I loved her books so much and they bring back such happy, innocent memories. I even read Wifey (her "adult" book) when I was a teenager. 😊
Definitely!
Can't wait to see the movie. I loved the book as a kid.
I read this book in 7th grade and did a book report…Got an A ❤
I grew up reading her. She knocks me out with her truth to self. She never compromised. She is the ultimate story first writer.
This book really helped me understand my own body more when I was a little girl as I was raised by my single father. My dad was amazing but some things need special treatment & I think it's the whole point of the book.
I’ve always loved Judy Blume! I read a lot of her books as a little girl ❤️❤️☺️🥰
Love this rare interview! Judy Blume in person. Wow 🇵🇭👩🏻🏫
I read this a girl in 7th grade and I passed it down to my three daughters. Now onto my granddaughters ❤
I just bought her book Forever for my son.
Hugs to you! I find joy in imagining you reading to them. If you haven't read with them personally, I hope you will. It may be the best moment of your life. It will be over too soon.
I watched the documentary. She really touched a number of young people throughout her career. She looks great, too!
I love this woman! Her book "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" was the first book I read in Elementary!!
Love her so much
Love that book growing up. Can't wait!
This book made me want to be a writer at age 12. I started writing a diary. Today I'm a writer 🎉
Excellent
I absolutely LOVE her now! She totally just slayed the government! I love how so many people are speaking up!
one of her more challenged books, pretty cool it's now a movie
I loved her books I read this one in the 6th grade
Oh my god when I seen this talk show about are you there God it's me Margaret actually being able to see the woman that wrote that book I read that book in Junior High School and this one book that will stick with you a lifetime I am 56 years old now and it seems like and just last week I read that book that book is amazing and I think that every teenager should read that book I know I won't be able to tell her personally but I wish that someone could pass it on that book is amazing
Delightful! Timeless! 😊❤❤
I loved it! So very due I’ve been waiting since I was a kid in the 80s for this!
wow i didn't know this book when i was young but i know that song!
Judy Blume in my high school years and immediately after in the 1970s my reading list included the weekly Times Literary Supplement, existentialists like Buber and Kierkegaard and every book in the Hyattsville Library by you. After 50 years, I'm sure Go Ask Alice is gone and many others are gone. They don't teach cursive writing any more, I learned. How do teenagers keep diaries ? So great to see you still active. You look at least 25 to 30 years younger than your alleged age.
Oh Lara, I love you! And Judy...the GOAT!
When I was a young girl, I read well above my grade level, therefore, didn't read any Judy Blume books until I was 14 and "Wifey" came out which was her first adult novel. I didn't read "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" until I was in my 30s and I found it to be poignant. I don't know if I would have gotten all of its meaning in my tweens.
God bless you Judy. It isn't your job to fight for a child's right to read, but I hope you can be a positive and powerful voice in a place that seems to be afraid of the world it is living in. Before I knew about gender, I was reading your books. Before judgement was a political path, you were simply trying to help us understand the experience of growing up. Thank You.
Legendary! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
She should have make these movies in the 80s she would have made huge legend 😅
0:54 - 1:35 For the tens of millions who've read Judy Blume's novels AND the tens of thousands watching "GMA" [on ABC, live, or later, on CZcams] and who LISTENED TO, paid attention and are mature enough to comprehend her reasoning about WHY this was the time for a film adaptation of her acclaimed novel, "Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret.":
"I got a wonderful letter . . . from Kelly Fremon Craig. And at the end she said 'Oh, and BTW, I wrote and directed the movie 'The Edge of Seventeen.'"
VERY animated, Ms. Blume continues, "That's a great movie. I saw that movie. This is the FIRST TIME I've had someone, you know, ask me 'can we make the movie' with that kind of credential. AND -- to top it off -- she said 'my mentor is James L. Brooks.' . . . And I'm like 'YES!'"
Quip reply to "marcellixxx": Oh yeah, sounds like Judy Blume has so many misgivings and an endless stream of sleepless nights fretting about having let the '80s pass by without hustling Hollywood to turn her celebrated, adored young adult novels -- for which she was ALREADY 'a legend' as an author to a certain demographic -- into movies.
John Hughes was doing quite alright in the 1980s, but if a certain someone, "marcellixxx" for instance, had told him he should have done "Pretty in Pink", "Sixteen Candles", "Uncle Buck", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Breakfast Club" in the '50s because it would have made him a legend decades earlier he would have been utterly dumbfounded and perhaps responded, "I don't think you're yet old enough to appreciate my screenplays and / or fully comprehend my movies".
"marcellixxx"'s message is clearly 'from the heart' but it reads wildly off the mark and is in fact utterly preposterous. As we witness here viewing "GMA"'s trio interviewing Judy Blume, the lady appears 100% fine with the way things have played out. Could she be any more animated, gracious or intelligent? I think not. Why, she's glowing with satisfaction and appreciation.
We used to say that, "I must, I must, I must increase my bust!" Lol
"The bigger the better, the tighter the sweater, the more the boys will lust!"
Wow, what an interesting saying 🤔😕🤣
I’m a guy and I loved this book.
Lovvvvve her super fudgeeeee plus she does dirty novels lovvvvve her
You are great
❤️
Talk about a humble person.
Back in middle school, Judy Blume's books had a reputation for risque and seductive, always with some sex or foreplay described like no other kids books in the library. Honestly, the kids would whisper and giggle all over that as I recall. I remember once a friend showed me a passage about two kids about to have sex, and the girl smelling his privates and then this whole description about her wanting to put cologne on his testicles. This was signature Blume. Kids would always search thru the pages for the sex scenes at the end. She was the only author known to include explicit descriptions of fondling, sex, and foreplay in graphic detail in the whole school collection. She stoked those hormones afire which we really didn't need at that age.
And now I know why my mom wouldn't let me read her books.....
Smh her books helped teenagers figure shit out about themselves. Whoever decides to read it is subjective. Tired of this banning bullshit.smh
@@shaunettewilliams4432 In America, there's really no such thing as banning. It's idiotic. With the internet, you can get any book you want freely. To think you can't access book when people are accessing some of the darkest porn online is just brainless politicization. We all got to think before brainlessly jumping on the bandwagon of hostility when there's it's a moot issue.
@@shaunettewilliams4432 OKgroomer
@@mightytaiger3000 The republiKKKan party is filled with pedophiles. Shut up!
Hola 💓💓💓
I loved her books growing up and i had scoliosis and wore a back brace so Deenie was a personal favorite!! But after hearing her speak about some politics, I'm sorry that she had to bring that into this discussion.
Why? She spoke the absolute truth!!
Where is the backlash about the movie? I thought it was great.
😊👍👌❤
The Tra’s got to her.
Oh yes, Judy Blume. teen harlequin romance writer who broke ground with vivid descriptions of sex scenes, foreplay, and sexual dalliances. Thank goodness we have more options for kids now.
🆒
Why wouldn't you want your kids to know what's happening to their bodies? Huge red flag if you don't.
Why would you ASSume the books being banned are biology and anatomy books??
The state doesn’t get to raise your kids. Parents decide when and HOW they expose their kids to the topics of sxuality and religion.
@@mightytaiger3000 Because Margaret is banned for that reason. That's not an ASSumption.
@@leahmoore6820 Banning the book or not, little girls act like this. The book/movie gives them something to relate to. It gives them the message that they aren't alone. That should be a comforting feeling for a child with all these body insecurities.
@@Thatsswell-hr9ev Pretty sure I didn't say it was wrong to read the book.
@@mightytaiger3000 People like DeSantis and his ilk need to stay out of it. Machine guns need to be banned, not books
What's the trans character's name?
Huh?? There is none!
Tales of the 4th grade super fudge classsssics still have them.
Too bad she had to sell out to a fake trans man because her movie is bombing... disgusting.
