 Frances "Mama" Sanchez was truly everyone's "Mama" to her staff, and as her children, their school friends, and extended family all worked on weekends and on summer break as they were growing up.Mama's on Washington Square imbued the diversity of the colorful neighborhood of writers, poets, politicians, and travelers, attracting celebrities from Los Angeles and New York not only as a top eatery, but also as a prime location for film and television.The quaint, authentic charm of Mama's Victorian architecture, combined with the tall spires of Saints Peter and Paul Church and Washington Square Park, can be seen in films including "Bullitt", "Dirty Harry", "What's up Doc", "Pete and Tilly", and episodes of the popular series "The Streets of San Francisco", starring Michael Douglas and Karl Malden.
