Park Ridge couple star in Iron & Wine music video

Backstory: The video's producer and director Howard Greynolds and Jamie Fleischel live in the Norwood Park/Park Ridge area.

What they're saying: "The producers came to the Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Park Ridge, where we take classes, and they wanted dancers who could act," Debbie, a retired CPS special education teacher, tells Axios.

• "I guess we were in the right place at the right time."

Zoom in: The Maggios play a long-married couple who run the Pickwick, selling popcorn and sweeping up the theater.

• But then they're transformed into glamorous dancers wearing fancy duds and waltzing through the theater's Art Deco lobby to young customers' disbelief.
• Their teacher Rafael Torres choreographed their moves.

The intrigue: Debbie said she'd never heard of Iron & Wine before the video shoot.

• "I'm from the '60s, so my favorite music comes from The Beach Boys," she says. "But we have heard from a lot of people who have seen the video on Facebook."

What's next: The song seems tailor-made for anniversary celebrations. So we asked if the Maggios will play it at their 50th anniversary party this year.

• "We just may," Debbie says.
