EVERYBODY LOVES CANDY CLARK! Celebrating Our Screen Sweetheart from Cowtown to Tinseltown in Fort Worth, Texas | June 21, 2025. 




FORT WORTH, TEXAS — Every town has its heroes, but Fort Worth? We’ve got a legends. This summer, the very city that nurtured her spirit is rolling out the red carpet for one of its brightest stars. Candy Clark — the fierce, funny, and fearless Fort Worth girl who turned a chance casting call into a cultural phenomenon — is coming home.




Sixty years after graduating from Green B. Trimble Tech High School, Candy returns not only to mark a personal milestone, but to celebrate a lifetime of adventure and achievement. There’s a birthday bash, an exclusive book signing, and a classic car showdown all on deck—a true love letter to the girl who took Cowtown all the way to Hollywood.





🎬 From Fort Worth to Film Icon


Candy Clark’s journey isn’t simply about fame. It’s about freedom, grit, and making every moment count. It began with a Texan teen heading to New York with nothing but a suitcase and an unquenchable spark—and eventually led her to share the screen with icons like Jeff Bridges, David Bowie, and other luminaries of 1970s cinema.




Her breakthrough came with John Huston’s Fat City, followed by an unforgettable Oscar-nominated turn in George Lucas’s American Graffiti, and a mesmerizing performance in The Man Who Fell to Earth. Through it all, Candy remained true to herself—funny, grounded, and forever imbued with that unmistakable Cowtown charm.


In Candy’s own words: “Can you believe this was my life?” We sure can—and we’re here to celebrate every unforgettable frame of it.





Tight Heads: The Memoir We Didn’t Know We Needed


Forget everything you think you know about celebrity memoirs. Candy Clark’s Tight Heads isn’t a typical tell-all—it’s a “tell-what-matters.” Part scrapbook, part confessional, and part fever dream, this memoir is a cinematic flipbook of 87 candid Polaroids, backstage anecdotes, and pure, unfiltered Candy.




There’s no Hollywood gloss here—only Texas grit laced with golden nostalgia. With no ghostwriters, no filters, just Candy’s own witty, warm, and whip-smart voice, Tight Heads captures moments with Bowie, Ruscha, Huston, Bridges, and the beautiful chaos of a life lived at full throttle. It’s Babitz with boots on—a Texas twang in a Tinseltown world—and as bold and unpredictable as the woman behind it.





The American Graffiti Tribute Classic Car Show.


What’s a Candy Clark homecoming without a nod to the ride that helped cement her legend? Texas own Rich Puryear is putting the pedal to the metal with the American Graffiti Tribute Classic Car Show at Tarrant County College 5301 Campus Drive Fort Worth, Texas 76119.




This isn’t your everyday car meet—it’s a full-throttle celebration of chrome and cool. Tribute builds of every iconic ride from the film—from Milner’s yellow deuce coupe to Toad’s white Impala, and the unforgettable ’55 Chevy that carried a young Harrison Ford—will be on display. Each classic car is more than metal; it’s a roaring, rolling testament to the era and the movie that made Candy a household name.

Now, she’s coming home—not for the glitz, but to embrace the gratitude and heartfelt cheers of a community that has always believed in her. It’s time to hug old friends, swap incredible stories, and bask in the hometown love that never stopped growing.

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Founding Director, Texas 6888th Project. WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 29, 2025, inside Emancipation Hall beneath the sacred shadow of the Capitol dome, the soul of America was stirred as our nation finally paused to say “thank you” to the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. That day, wrapped in dignity and destiny, the Congressional Gold Medal was placed upon their legacy. And standing at the center of this divine moment, like a hidden angel sent for such a time as this, was none other than Retired Master Sergeant Elizabeth Anne Helm-Frazier—known across our community, and to the cast of the Tyler Perry film, simply and lovingly as Aunt Liz. Let me say it plain: Aunt Liz is God’s gift to the memory of the Six Triple Eight. When the final living members of the battalion took her in, they said something Master Sgt. never forget: “Liz can’t do no wrong in our book.” And I declare today—neithe...

Their dedication and efficiency not only boosted troop morale but also shattered racial and gender barriers of their time.
