Thomas Rockwell on Norman
There's an interview here with the son of Norman Rockwell:

So, it seems that Norman really was a lot like you would guess from his paintings. That's nice to hear, because I always liked him. Someone gave me a big, illustrated book about him when I was young, and as Thomas says, "And one of the reasons that people respond to his work is because he does look warmly at people. The way he feels about people shows."
Apparently, Norman had to overcome a strict Xian upbringing, too, so cheers for him. :)
Oh, yeah, there's stuff about Thomas too, who writes children's books and they mention a movie as well.
