Film festival to honor late Allen actor
Allen — A film festival to honor the late Clint Kimbrough, a New York and Hollywood actor who grew up in Allen, takes place today and Saturday in Allen.

Before moving to Hollywood in 1967, Kimbrough appeared in several Broadway and off-Broadway productions. He had supporting roles in several television series and films, including “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,” “Westinghouse Studio One: The Night America Trembled,” and “G.E.
