A Norman Rockwell painting stolen more than three decades ago was found in the possession of super director Steven Speilberg. Explain this one Stevie!
Actually, as it turns out, the Academy Award winning filmmaker acquired the painting legally. Spielberg realized the painting was stolen property after seeing an FBI posting.
Rockwell’s “Russian Schoolroom,” which art dealers say could be worth as much as $700,000 today, was stolen from a St. Louis gallery in 1973. Spielberg purchased the 16-by-37-inch oil-on-canvas painting which depicts children in a classroom with a bust of Lenin, from a legitimate dealer in 1989.
We’ll get you next time Spielberg, next time.

We broke this story Thursday without releasing Steven’s name. What a coincidence that he had this painting stolen from St. Louis in 1973 since he is married to Capshaw who is also from St. Louis.

Written book 300pages only you can make it into a movie:
“Before the Beginning?….God’s Biography”
(Non Fiction until proven wrong)
No one can therefore it remains non fiction
DaVinciw Code earned over 70 milliom in one day and it’s only about the Son of God. My book is about “God, Trinity and entire Heaven , before at, during, and after the true start of our World. It explans God’s beginning, why Lucifer revolted, why man/woman/ Final Judgement, where is Heaven and too many questions answered to list. Give me permission to send or email you a sample or the entire novel.

Wrote book only Spielberg can make into a movie. It is different!
“Before the Beginning?…God’s biography” Non Fiction
Until proven wrong…no one can!
Would you like a sample or the complete novel? It identifies “Before, At, During, and After the God, Heaven, and the reason for Final Judgement. It explains the Beginning of God!
