Joan's picture update
I just wanted to report that the actress who played Brian's Mom, whom I mentioned in my last entry, responded to my question! I was thrilled and surprised. You can see the exchange on her facebook page, if you're interested. She said she had never seen the picture, but she didn't think Brian would have Joan''s picture in his bedroom. I think maybe they designed the set before the role was written and cast, but I still can't think of any other woman that it might be supposed to represent.
