Do you know which college Allie Hamilton attended after leaving her summer love Noah Calhoun behind in the 2004 film “The Notebook”?

Do you know which TV theme song states “You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both, and there you have”?

Do you want the chance to win up to $100,000? The casting team is heading to Los Angeles Mar. 4 and 5\. For info on how your team can apply and to attend the L.A. casting call, dial up (212) 456-3859\. Free entertainment lectures at SMC
