Brian you truly are an amazing person! 👏 Bravo tonight on zoom in MN. I'm not an Amazon prime customer so I couldn't get my hands on Kelly's Hollywood. How else could I get my hands on it? Thank you so much for all your time and energy. Just being able to watch the previews put me into tears. ❤️ Katy and Blake -Just listening to you now at this interview pure truth you speak when it comes to our special needs kiddos. They write their own rule books. Hats off to you 👏 seriously. I get so tired of doctors telling me Andrews limits when he is seriously amazing. This has been very challenging for my family but we are doing it all one day at a time and Andrew helps us everyday to have strength and he teaches us to be so brave. Thank you Thank you so much. 🙏 ❤️

i had quite a lot to say about this as well---- and this is coming from someone who has over 20 years experience working in the disabled communities and in advocacy services : this was a great documentary i love how the parents seemed to have taught her skills and so she did make choices, decisions, and think for herself, that is great they instilled that ... and the brothers love is awesome, how ever what really sucked and definitely did not do her any favors, was to indulge her in the fantasy relationships and romances, shew was frustrated and lonely ! and s he should have been presented with more options and actual relationship opportunities, as well as opportunities for acting and performing, her singing was nothing great, but she would have been a good actors he did have the knack for it, with help and guidance she could have been a worthy actor i think. i have found in over 20 years of working with disabled folks as well as being a disabled person ( learning disability, and mild cp ) is that indulging in those fantasies , especially in adulthood, hurts them in the long run, its sets them up for disappointment and frustration..... but it IS good to, if a person has dreams and goals, to help them pursue them as much as possible, and setting up real, genuine opportunities for relationships and friendships -- not keeping a person in fantasy land. im glad they shared the sexual harassment thing, because the process she did to get that letter and do all that, SHOWS she was intelligent!! , slow, delayed, some learning disabilities, yes. but she was by NO means, simple minded or stupid, or dumb, or incapable, she was very bright, and if her heart had been healthy, or at least fixable, i dont see any reason why she could not have went after her goals of doing real performing with small acting troops and even the big time in Hollywood the over-indulging , the sexual harassment, the living in fantasy land, imaginary loves, it not cute, its not funny, but sharing that shows just how intelligent and capable she really was, and they should have fostered that and helped her grow , instead of indulging all her life in these fantasies that is why she did that, she was living out her fantasies because that was all she had , since they did not help her go after her dreams and help her opportunities, real ones in relationships as well as her goals. Her parents and siblings should have helped her go after her dreams and goals, and have a REAL life, not indulge her fantasy life,that does disabled people more harm than good in the long run, as we see with kelly in this lil doc, she is happy, but not always she is doing things like harassment and manipulation because SHE WAS LONELY AND BORED AND FRUSTRATED, she could have had real relationships, real acting opportunities, even if that meant letting her move to california , get involved in some small acting troops ad stage groups, get some assistive services, an apartment with supports and so on, she was plenty smart, had people took the time to explore more out oft he box thinking options,

Its nice to see a realistic, human experience about having a DS loved one. It looks powerful and real. I don't think they'll pretend she is an entrepreneurial mogul at any point during it either. She's happy the way she is. Life isn't perfect dealing with things, but there is lots to smile about regardless of lifes limitations.

You can see that Brian loves his sister but there was a lot of overcompensating going on and I have a big problem with him letting her sleep in his bed because when he got a girlfriend Kelly didn't understand why she couldn't sleep with him anymore that never should have started ,but anyway he did love her ... to me the big hero is the girlfriend who waited and said someday you'll have going to have to put me first and I'm glad he finally did because something isn't healthy if the woman your intimate and would like to marry and live your life with feels like a second-class citizen in your life, then something's off-kilter even with the best intentions, our actions can sometime go awry and then you have a sister who can't let go. in my book, the hero in the end is the girlfriend, for waiting for him to figure it out

Brian Donovan I just want to share this with you. I was a supervisor for the cleaning staff at a high school before my injury and a teacher asked me if I would please let this young lady from her special needs class named Emily work with us cleaning the cafeteria for her life skills job. I had an absolute blast with Emily for her last two years of high school. One day Emily was talking to her imaginary friend and of course someone said something negative about it I told them just because you can't see who she is taking to doesn't mean that they aren't there. I also let Emily drive our automatic floor scrubber on her last week of school she had an absolute blast I was so happy to see how much she enjoyed driving that around the cafeteria.

I'd like to thank all of you for your support of the film. It's been a wonderful journey and an incredible honor to celebrate my sister's legacy. I know from all the Q&As I've done there's always more questions than answers that come up from watching a documentary, but I hope you got some sense of the world of Kelly, the good the bad and everything in between. As to the comments below from Trace, I only ask that you find it in your heart to let "love" rise to the top, or try to. We didn't do it all perfect as a family, but we tried and we loved and that is the most important thing we can do. And for the record, Kelly got in trouble by the family and by work for her sexual harassment antics--but that wasn't what I wanted to say at that moment in the film. All the best, Brian

Brian you truly are an amazing person! 👏 Bravo tonight on zoom in MN. I'm not an Amazon prime customer so I couldn't get my hands on Kelly's Hollywood. How else could I get my hands on it? Thank you so much for all your time and energy. Just being able to watch the previews put me into tears. ❤️ Katy and Blake -Just listening to you now at this interview pure truth you speak when it comes to our special needs kiddos. They write their own rule books. Hats off to you 👏 seriously. I get so tired of doctors telling me Andrews limits when he is seriously amazing. This has been very challenging for my family but we are doing it all one day at a time and Andrew helps us everyday to have strength and he teaches us to be so brave. Thank you Thank you so much. 🙏 ❤️
This is so cute
i had quite a lot to say about this as well---- and this is coming from someone who has over 20 years experience working in the disabled communities and in advocacy services : this was a great documentary i love how the parents seemed to have taught her skills and so she did make choices, decisions, and think for herself, that is great they instilled that ... and the brothers love is awesome, how ever what really sucked and definitely did not do her any favors, was to indulge her in the fantasy relationships and romances, shew was frustrated and lonely ! and s he should have been presented with more options and actual relationship opportunities, as well as opportunities for acting and performing, her singing was nothing great, but she would have been a good actors he did have the knack for it, with help and guidance she could have been a worthy actor i think. i have found in over 20 years of working with disabled folks as well as being a disabled person ( learning disability, and mild cp ) is that indulging in those fantasies , especially in adulthood, hurts them in the long run, its sets them up for disappointment and frustration..... but it IS good to, if a person has dreams and goals, to help them pursue them as much as possible, and setting up real, genuine opportunities for relationships and friendships -- not keeping a person in fantasy land. im glad they shared the sexual harassment thing, because the process she did to get that letter and do all that, SHOWS she was intelligent!! , slow, delayed, some learning disabilities, yes. but she was by NO means, simple minded or stupid, or dumb, or incapable, she was very bright, and if her heart had been healthy, or at least fixable, i dont see any reason why she could not have went after her goals of doing real performing with small acting troops and even the big time in Hollywood the over-indulging , the sexual harassment, the living in fantasy land, imaginary loves, it not cute, its not funny, but sharing that shows just how intelligent and capable she really was, and they should have fostered that and helped her grow , instead of indulging all her life in these fantasies that is why she did that, she was living out her fantasies because that was all she had , since they did not help her go after her dreams and help her opportunities, real ones in relationships as well as her goals. Her parents and siblings should have helped her go after her dreams and goals, and have a REAL life, not indulge her fantasy life,that does disabled people more harm than good in the long run, as we see with kelly in this lil doc, she is happy, but not always she is doing things like harassment and manipulation because SHE WAS LONELY AND BORED AND FRUSTRATED, she could have had real relationships, real acting opportunities, even if that meant letting her move to california , get involved in some small acting troops ad stage groups, get some assistive services, an apartment with supports and so on, she was plenty smart, had people took the time to explore more out oft he box thinking options,

thank you very much for writing this and your thoughtful comments are really appreciated. I also want to thank you for copy/pasting it to the Amazon review too. I always appreciate the feedback, esp from someone who can relate so well, has insight and a personal understanding of all that goes on in the film and went on in our lives. Stay Safe! Best to you and yours, Brian
@@briandonovan6317 Yeah I decided to share in amazon reviews when I got a email asking if I’d like to review the film after watching it so I copy pasted my comment here, to amazon, thanks man, I’m glad the feedback was well received, i think it is very important that people realize that they should not give credit where it isnt due--- if the person is horrible at singing, dont tell them they are great when they are not !... if they ARE good at acting, then yes, by all means, tell them teyare good at acrting, if that is their passion, help em persue it ... but anyways glad to chat with ya, and I hope you are still doing well and making more films I think it was a very well put together doc. :)
this wasa great documentary ilove how the parents seemed to have taught her skills and so she did make choices, decisions, and think for herself, that is great they instilled that ... and the brothers love is awesome, how ever what really sucked and definitely did not do her any favors, was to indulge her in the fantasy relationships and romances, shew was frustrated and lonely ! and s he should have been presented with more options and actual relationship opportunities, as well as opportunities for acting and performing, her singing was nothing great, but she would have beena good actors he did have the knack for it, with help and guidance she could have been a worthy actor i think. i have found in over 20 years of working with disabled folks as well as being a disabled person ( severe learning disability, and mild cp ) is that indulging in those fantasies , especially in adulthood, hurts them in the long run, its sets them up for disappointment and frustration..... but it IS good to, if a person has dreams and goals, to help them presue them as much as possible, and setting up real, genuine opportunities for relationships and friendships -- not keeping a person in fantasy land.
Its nice to see a realistic, human experience about having a DS loved one. It looks powerful and real. I don't think they'll pretend she is an entrepreneurial mogul at any point during it either. She's happy the way she is. Life isn't perfect dealing with things, but there is lots to smile about regardless of lifes limitations.

Such an amazing big brother and human being. You gave more love than most, and taught her to be an unstoppable woman!
Thank you for sharing such a personal story with the world! Anyone who watches this cannot help but take Kelly's spirit with them.
My goal is to be a splendid ninja even though I do not have genjutsu nor ninjutsu
i can hear davis
Idk Davis from Digimon had a Brooklyn accent.
Jonathan Alfonso he’s From Buffalo
Absolutely beautiful!
You can see that Brian loves his sister but there was a lot of overcompensating going on and I have a big problem with him letting her sleep in his bed because when he got a girlfriend Kelly didn't understand why she couldn't sleep with him anymore that never should have started ,but anyway he did love her ... to me the big hero is the girlfriend who waited and said someday you'll have going to have to put me first and I'm glad he finally did because something isn't healthy if the woman your intimate and would like to marry and live your life with feels like a second-class citizen in your life, then something's off-kilter even with the best intentions, our actions can sometime go awry and then you have a sister who can't let go. in my book, the hero in the end is the girlfriend, for waiting for him to figure it out

Brian you don't look so well you look sick
Brian when someone loses the person they love it takes a toll in their life and I know how you feel I lost my Grandma Daphne from a stroke on August 26th 2009 the same year you lost Kelly when I found out that my Grandma died my life changed it took toll on my life I wanted to take my own life everytime I tried I hear a voice in my head saying "don't do it it's not worth it you'll never be forgiven." Brian I know it's hard and you're mourning the loss of your baby sister don't take your own life keep your head high and stay strong.
Thanks for your note. I'm sorry for your loss. It is hard. But time heals and I've been able to celebrate my sister through the film and that's helped a lot. I'm sorry you've been struggling with depression, please keep listening to that voice in your head that tells you NO, don't do it. You will see light, and it will get brighter everyday...You're here for a reason. Don't ever forget that.
Brian Donovan when I lost my grandaunt in 2015 suicide thoughts keeps on coming back I've dropped out of college because of it and Sunday is the Anniversary of my Grandma's death my mom's sister is not gonna like it she's gonna go into her miserable stage my mom is just gonna feel sad and depressed I'm trying to keep my mom's high blood pressure from rising too high when she cries a lot and it goes up but I don't want her to cry she is close to my grandma.
WE THINK WE ARE THE WORLD ..
but i got a college degree in DRAMA
That was completely AWESOME! You are one amazing brother 😊
Thank you for reaching out and your kind words! Kelly was an amazing sister...and I was just lucky to be her brother. What a gift! Thanks again! B
Brian Donovan I just want to share this with you. I was a supervisor for the cleaning staff at a high school before my injury and a teacher asked me if I would please let this young lady from her special needs class named Emily work with us cleaning the cafeteria for her life skills job. I had an absolute blast with Emily for her last two years of high school. One day Emily was talking to her imaginary friend and of course someone said something negative about it I told them just because you can't see who she is taking to doesn't mean that they aren't there. I also let Emily drive our automatic floor scrubber on her last week of school she had an absolute blast I was so happy to see how much she enjoyed driving that around the cafeteria.
LOVE this story and you and Emily...thank you for sharing! For the last two years I've been touring the film and speaking to anyone who will listen that life is about the connections we make. Often those most cherished are the ones we least expect or at first we aren't sure about. Glad you and Emily had that time, and I'm thrilled you stuck up for her! We need more like you and Emily! xo b
Ohhh leee
sweet Kelly she really had a great life as made the most out of it through her brother ,family .
Hi Nicole!! What a sweet message to leave...thank you so much! My sister was a gift who still keeps on giving. I was the lucky one who has been given the great life because of her. Best to you and yours. Brian
I was flipping channels and came across this on t.v. I have a 18 year old daughter with downsyndrom, I teared up and cried through a lot watching this film. Your a great brother and Kelly was a great sister . Y'all both are Hero's in my eyes. Thank you for documenting and sharing this video.
Really, really appreciate you reaching out! Please tell everyone about Kelly (social media, word of mouth etc)…it really helps the 'little engine’ climb the mountain. My very best to you and yours esp your daughter! Send a pic to the Kelly's Hollywood Facebook page and I'll post! Thanks again! Brian
thanks Billy! So sorry, I'm just seeing this now. Really appreciate the kind words and effort to reach out. Please tell everyone you know to watch...it's only on Showtime through the end of the year :) Thanks again!
Hello Brain, I'm sitting here watching your documentary on your sister Kell. I just love it from how u put her first no matter what & made her dreams come true. Ur the best, I have a son with disabilities & often worry about him up have given me comfort with this movie my son can do anything just like Kelly
My son also watched ur show never knew this so u r still a hero to people changing lives
Sorry for your loss Brian I lost my GrandAunt in 2015 from a cerebral Vascular accident (Stroke)
Brian, You are truly a wonderful and loving brother. Kelly's quality of life was AMAZING because of you and your family. Very touching and loving "DOCUMARY" as Kelly would say. Gwendolyn Matthew
Thank you so much for your message Gwen! Means a lot to me. Happy holidays to you and yours! Brian
Brian I loved your roll as Davis since I was 6 years old sometimes he needs discipline with a belt but he is pretty funny
thank YOU! b
thank you!
Brian Donovan you're welcome and your Birthday is next month right after mine
Brian Donovan today is my 24th birthday
Happy happy bday! Sorry I'm late!
I'd like to thank all of you for your support of the film. It's been a wonderful journey and an incredible honor to celebrate my sister's legacy. I know from all the Q&As I've done there's always more questions than answers that come up from watching a documentary, but I hope you got some sense of the world of Kelly, the good the bad and everything in between. As to the comments below from Trace, I only ask that you find it in your heart to let "love" rise to the top, or try to. We didn't do it all perfect as a family, but we tried and we loved and that is the most important thing we can do. And for the record, Kelly got in trouble by the family and by work for her sexual harassment antics--but that wasn't what I wanted to say at that moment in the film. All the best, Brian
im glad you shared the sexual harassment thing, because the process she did to get that letter and do all that, SHOWS she was intelligent!! , slow, delayed, some learning disabilities, yes. but she was by NO means, simple minded or stupid, or dumb, or incapable, she was very bright, and if her heart had been healthy, or at least fixable, i dont see any reason why she could not have went after her goals of doing real performing with small acting troops and even the big time in Hollywood.
Thank you for all the wonderful response and support.
Maybe I'm watching something different, but I found Kelly to to very intelligent and very manipulative. And the family only made it worse. I think she could've had a "normal" life. She was smart enough too, but they babied her and made excuses for her and let her get away with bad behavior. I have a special needs son and I will hold him to the same standards that I expect from my other children.
I think there was a problem with letting her sleep in his bed not for any kind of sleazy thing but then when he got a girlfriend it was a big problem I agree with you
agreed sheis extremely smart and intellegent, she was slow and delayed in learning, and processing, but she was by no means dumb or simple.... they seemed to do great on one hand by teaching her independent skills and s he seemed to make choices and think.... but they should h ave helped her go after her dreams and goals, andhave a REAL life, not indulge her fantasy life,t hat does disabled people more harm than good in the long run, as we see with kelly in this lil doc, she is happy, but not always she is doing things like harassment and manipulation because SHE WAS LONELY AND BORED AND FRUSTRATED, she coulud have had real relationships, real acting opportunities, even if that meant letting her move to cali, get involved in some small acting troops ad stage groups, get some asssistive services, an apartment with supports and so on, she was pletny smart, had people took the time to explore more out oft he box thinking options,
I just love how they all thought it was funny when she, and her ATTORNEY cousin accuses an INNOCENT man of sexual harassment. The only thing they had to say about it was how surprised they were about her intelligence and thought it was funny. Well sorry I don't find that shit funny.
im glad they shared it, but yeah it was not funny, but sharing that shows just how intelligent and capable she really was, and thy should have fostered that and helped her grow , instead of indulging all her life in these fantasies that is why she did that, she was living out her fantasies because that was all she had , since they did not help her go after her dreams and help her opportunties, real ones in relationships as well as her goals.
You're one heck of a hero to her :) She's Lucky to the max!
this was beautiful..got me crying and happy. My daughter is 24 and Downs, I wish she could relate to me such as you sister did, but I have to take what God gives me, love her and try and give her the best life I can. Beautiful story and thank you for sharing.
Thank you Lisa! Means the world that you took the time to watch and reach out--I'm assuming you're referring to the doc on Showtime, and not only this montage, but if not, please watch the feature if you can. www.kellyshollywood.com Thank you for sharing a small part of your own story...I wish nothing but the best for you and your daughter. Xo Brian
Thanks Paris Lady! I can't find your comment, but it showed up in my email. Thanks you for watching and your kind words!
What a beautiful documentary, hope he wins an award. Is shows in every essence the meaning of love.
Such a heart warming documentary, so beautiful. Our greatest gift while we are on this Earth is our capacity to love.
thank you!! and yes, love is everything!
One heck of a big brother to his sis ;)
Brian is truly one of the few nicest of people I've ever gotten to know... he's not only a hero to Kelly, but he's one to me as well.... I was pushed around a lot in high school.... I'm not a brilliant person or anything... when I was 15 I picked up the Naruto Manga from Shonen Jump...it was Rock Lee vs Gaara, I read that Lee had no talent or anything.... he was made fun of a lot, like me.....but yet he pushed himself to be the best...its silly to say it...but thanks to that anime & character, it gave me something I didn't have for a long time, something that got me through some of the hardest 4 years of my life, Hope & motivation.. thank you Brian so much... I know you didn't create Lee, but you brought him to life with your voice & personality
Tim Pike I couldn't have said it better myself ;)
My friend--I'm just seeing this now. Tim Pike, I can't thank you enough for the kind words. And now that we've gotten to know each other a bit through FB, I'm happy to know you...and happy you found hope and motivation. Leaf Hurricane baby! b
Man, what I would give to meet Brian at a con. Rock Lee was my all time favorite ninja in Naruto and is still my favorite to this day.
Thank you!! Very nice of you to say! Demand I show to the next con...tell the organizers and if I can I will. Promise! Thanks again Michaela!
There is a convention in July in Tampa Florida. Which is about 3 1/2 hours from me. I will do everything in my power to try to get them to contact you. I have no idea how to go about this. But you can bet I'll try(: <3
Brian Donovan if I can get them to even consider you coming what do I tell them, they'll find a way to contact you, right?
great--just tell them they can get a hold of me via my VO Agent in LA, WME. Thanks!!
Brian Donovan ALRIGHT!!! I'll try my best Mr.Donovan!(:
Brian, The documentary you made of your sister is breathtaking! You caught the essence of her love for you and her passion for being a star! My son just turned 21 years old he has a third syndrome. When he was born they told me to take him home and love him and not to expect him to walk or talk. He just recently graduated from college and has proven that with love, patience, and a passion for life you can live your dreams! You should be proud of what you have created along with finding your own happiness! God Bless!
Mrs Gaham! Thank you thank you thank you! Love this note and the news of your son and his own dreams coming true. Thank you for sharing your story and your lovely appreciation for mine. Xo to you and yours! Brian
Mrs. Graham yes i have a daughter 19 and when she was born the doctors said to put her in a institute cause she will not walk or talk ,but I had two children that I knew would trwat her no different and she learned a lot from them....
