Just watched the movie based on JD Vance's memoir Hillbilly Elegy. He had it rough growing up, poor as hell, no father, his mother was a junkie, have his maternal grandmother to thank for, for making him who he is. And his supportive gf/wife Usha.
I watched the movie too. He came from a rough family.

Not too sure what is the political affiliation of producer and director Ron Howard. But he did say he was surprised that JD Vance supports Trump, after the film was made.

Amy Adams was fatter than her usual for the film, I believe to stay true to the character she's playing. But still very pretty!:inlove:
