[ca. October 1963]

Eighty-five-year-old Lylah Tiffany, best known as the lady who plays the accordion on the sidewalk in front of New York's Carnegie Hall, plays her first movie role in David Susskind's production of "All The Way Home," Paramount release starring Jean Simmons and Robert Preston. Miss Tiffany will re-create the role of "Great-Great-Granmaw," the oldest living member of a Southern family. This is the same part she played in the Pulitzer Prize-winning stage version of "All The Way Home," which was adapted from James Agee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "A Death In The Family."
