The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Tami Stronach of The Never Ending Story.
Tami Stronach remembers being a Child-like Empress....
The Child-like Empress from "Never-Ending Story" is back! Tami Stronach, 30 years on, is busy putting together a new album and show for families and children.
Thirty years ago, we fell in love with her Child-like Empress when she beckoned Bastian to call her name. Now, the star of the 80s hit is back – ready to invade both the film and music world with her new family label and a Luck Dragon-sized load of exciting new projects.
Directed by Wolfgang Peterson, "The Never-Ending Story" was a West-German produced English-language film that, at the time, was the most expensive film produced outside the United States or the Soviet Union.
Never-Ending Story, which won several awards over 1984 and 1985, was a global hit, snaring US$100 million worldwide against a production budget of US$27 million.
The movie, which catapulted Stronach to stardom, has been a huge inspiration in pop culture and is just as popular today as it was when it was first released.
After a couple of decades of making dance and theater in NYC, Tami has now turned her attention to laying the foundation for a content shop that makes 'family friendly' work – not unlike "Never-Ending Story". The brand is Called Paper Canoe Company, which she founded with husband, Greg.
