George Clooney goes home

March 19, 2008

For one night, Maysville will be Hollywood along the Ohio River, thanks to George Clooney. The 46-year-old actor-director will visit the northern Kentucky town Monday night for a special screening of his new movie, “Leatherheads,” his father, Nick Clooney, said Tuesday. “The whole town is abuzz,” said Maysville Mayor David Cartmell. Clooney, who won an Oscar for his role in “Syriana,” grew up in the town of Augusta, about 16 miles west of Maysville. The setting has special significance for the Clooney family. In 1953, “The Stars Are Singing,” starring Rosemary Clooney, George Clooney’s aunt, premiered in Maysville.
