Got a minute?
Here’s what’s happening on Martha’s Vineyard today.
|
|
|
On this day in 1982, the classic film "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial" was released in theaters. In 2002 on this day, the popular reality television show"American Idol" made its debut. The Vineyard has seen filming take place for television shows in recent years. With the artistic flair the Martha’s Vineyard community produces, maybe there’ll be a young Islander who’ll take inspiration from their surroundings to make it on the big screen.
