Juliana is the youngest daughter of the Smaldone family in It’s My Brooklyn, Too! Bill is her Irish boyfriend, an outsider at the family New Year’s Eve party, there for a very important reason.
The two embody the optimism and ‘change the world’ attitude of the early 1960s, something which is very much missing from the grim world on today.
