When I interviewed actor Jon Tenney (The Closer) a few weeks ago, he told me he was in the cast of a new, 8 part series called "America Classic" on MGM +. 

Jon told me if I watched the first episode, I'd be hooked and boy was he right. Since the new episodes aired on Sundays, I waited anxiously all week to see the latest half hour show. Yesterday was the season 1 finale, hopefully setting up season 2! 

The all-star cast includes Jon, Laura Linney, Kevin Kline and Len Cariou from Blood Bloods! Aaron Tveit of Orange County also has a small role.

All of them are great as you would expect, but the standouts to me were two young actresses...Nell Verlaque and Elise Kibler!

Nell plays Miranda, the daughter and is remarkable, especially in the 8th episode as is Elise who is very funny playing Nadia with a Russian accent! 

I took Jon Tenney's word so please take mine, watch "American Classic" on MGM+...you'll thank me later!
