{"value"=>"<p>This series, dating from 1960 to 1993, covers Ardolino's personal files, materials generated by Ardolino Productions, and solicited and unsolicited projects that were never produced or directed by Ardolino. The materials associated with Ardolino Productions are nameplates, photographs of the office and staff, correspondence to Ardolino from various members of the company, lists of writers and their works, and script submissions. The majority of the series consists of unsolicited annotated screenplays that were forwarded to Ardolino via Ardolino Productions from various agents and writers. Included in the unproduced projects are several Jacques d'Amboise projects; notes, script drafts and treatments, and correspondence regarding possible sequels to <span class=\"title\">Dirty Dancing</span> and <span class=\"title\">Sister Act</span>, and a tango project that features a script treatment by Patrick Swayze.</p> <p>Ardolino's personal files cover various copies of his résumé, headshots and candid photographs, correspondence from friends and family, identification cards, a trip to China through a Directors Guild of America project, personal research materials from filmmaking seminars, and a birthday film from Gardner Compton titled, <span class=\"title\">Happy Birthday Emile</span> (1960s).
