The Notebook, Allie Calhoun’s (Gena Rowlands) Notebook

original movie prop

Allie Calhoun’s (Gena Rowlands) notebook from Nick Cassavetes’ The Notebook adapted from the Nicholas Sparks romantic novel of the same name. While numerous notebooks were created for the film, this particular version was used throughout filming and was featured in the deleted scene in which an Alzheimer’s-stricken Ally wrote down her memories before asking her husband Noah to recount their time together. The book features a durable blue canvas hardback cover with brown leather tips on corners. Inside the notebook are hundreds of blank white pages and a single fabric book mark. Inscribed midway through the book is a single page with a hand-written story about their summer romance coming to an end.
