Local musician Judy B. Goode has two good reasons to love Away We Go
TBT* honcho Jay Cridlin passed along this connection between one of my favorite films of the summer, Away We Go, and the upcoming GaYbor Days festival in Ybor City:
Singer/impressionist Judy B. Goode, whose Thursday night shows at the Ybor City Social Club always draw a crowd, is the proud grandmother of two actors in Sam Mendes' movie, now playing around Tampa Bay.
Brendan and Jaden Spitz, 2-year-old twins, take turns playing "Baby Neptune," who's shown above being lugged around by Maggie Gyllenhaal in a cradle sling. Don't ask me if that Brendan or Jaden in the photo above (with Gyllenhaal and Mendes). Don't ask Judy, either. She says she hasn't seen the kids since they were about three months old, and couldn't tell then.
"They're what are called 'mirror image twins,'" Goode said during a phone chat. "One is left handed, the other is right handed and both look exactly alike."
The boys' mother, Candi, is married to former Anthrax guitarist Danny Spitz, residing in New York City.
