Revisit our interview with Peter Billingsley (who played Ralphie Parker in "A Christmas Story" and its sequel, 2022's "A Christmas Story: Christmas"), where the actor reflects on the original movie filmed 40 years ago here in Northeast Ohio. 🎄

"I have a very, very fond place in my heart and will forever for that city," Billingsley says. "Just the great people that worked there, the local Clevelanders we were able to hire. That sentiment was shared by the filmmakers, as well. It’s been great to see the city embrace the film, and it’s certainly a two-way street for those of us that actually worked on it."
