Photograph article dated March 9, 1963 partially reads, "'Mama' is an actress, and a playwright and a producer. She carried her theater in a suitcase, and is available for wakes, weddings and Kiwanis Club luncheons. Filling that description is a cheery Reseda housewife, Mrs. Freda Pollock, 17845 Lull St. Between playwriting and performing she takes care of three sons, Danny 5, Richard 3, and Alan 8. A recent arrival from New York, Mrs. Pollock says her interest in the theater was kindled through contact with a little theater group much like the Northridge Theater Guild." Photograph caption reads: "With make-up, Reseda housewife becomes actress. Mrs. Freda Pollock likes "Mama Wants a Man" and her three children."; See images #00123227 through #00123229 for all photos in this series.
