Memories of Me

Having suffered a heart attack in New York, Abbie Polin (Crystal), a New York doctor, travels to Los Angeles to visit his father, Abe (King), who is known in Hollywood as "the king of the extras." Over the course of several years, their relationship has become increasingly strained. This was Henry Winkler's debut picture as a director, and it was filmed in part at the MGM Studios in Culver City, California, which is only a few miles away from the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. Lisa, Abbie's romantic interest, also pays Abbie a visit and forms a bond with Abe, who is well-liked by everyone save his son, despite their differences.

As time passes, he and his son grow closer, and Abbie attempts to secure Abe a speaking role in a film before it is too late for him.
