The true story behind Mamie’s “Woodstock” character

Article courtesy Foster’s Daily Democrat: It was 40 years ago that Ticia “Bernuth” Agri felt a “wave of energy” flow through her when she heard from a friend that a New York City concert producer was looking for an assistant to help him put on a show slated for a rural upstate field. Agri, now 64, said the cultural phenomenon known as “Woodstock” seems like it happened a lifetime ago, but she can distinctly recall standing on a stage, as a production assistant, looking out at a “tsunami of humanity” as Jimi Hendrix began playing in August of 1969. A character named “Tisha” in director Ang Lee’s soon-to-be released movie, “Taking Woodstock,” is based on Agri and is played by Mamie Gummer. The full article can be read here.
