4. Last movie you watched: "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf." Ugh. It was such a downer, but the mark of a good film (to me) is how long I hear the characters voices after seeing it, so it must have been good--a week later I still hear "Kyrie Eleison." I adored Richard Burton when I was a teenager--in fact, I remember my Dad discouraging me, saying "he's a lecherous old man." I asked what "lecherous" meant and, of course, he told me to look it up. I did, and it made Richard Burton 100x's more appealing.

6. Where were you on September 11, 2001?
I was makin' love (kidding, but I like to say that when someone asks me that question) Home, pregnant with my 5th child, saw it all unfold live on the Today Show. After the plane crashed near Pittsburgh, I spent an hour trying to get through to my parents--my friends kept calling with updates. One thing no one remembers is how many false reports were aired--I heard there were car bombs going off in major cities, a plane hit the Supreme Court building, 4000 planes were off radar, etc.
