Cindy Mitchum Azbill’s uncle is the Academy Award Nominee for Best Supporting Actor, Robert Mitchum. Her dad John Mitchum, Robert’s brother, was a well-established character actor and Grammy nominated musician. Cindy kind of has the double whammy on this one.
Cindy shares stories of the bond The Mitchum Brothers shared, funny and amazing tales of their childhood. Like riding the rails (hoboing) to get to their mother in California as young teenagers. Working together on a film and how her dad John was actually in more films and tv shows than Robert.
She talks of meeting so many film and tv stars because of her dad’s prolific acting career that sometimes she didn’t even know they were famous. How her father became a Grammy Nominee and what she is doing to bring his spoken word LPs to life with film. She has an amazing list of actors wanting to participate in this project out of love and respect for the Mitchum Family.
Cindy has worked tirelessly for years to secure all the rights to the photos in her father’s memoir “Them Ornery Mitchum Boys” so that she could reprint and release the book to the public. Links to purchase can be found below the show notes.
Like so many of the conversations I have on the podcast, there is so much of her life in Hollywood that we didn’t cover, BUT the stories we did hit on and her path through life that we did cover are fascinating and truly from her heart. What a life her Uncle Bob (Robert Mitchum) and dad John lived, both as children and Hollywood Stars.
