The same thing happens to her daughter Mamie. (Who actually starred opposite Allison Janney last summer. WILD.)

Mamie said she knew she finally made it when her Mom's name wasn't the first name mentioned in all her reviews.

Also, the head of my college theatre department always said that "Almost Like Being In Love" was the perfect audition song.

He was a sweet old man, but I bet he still believes that to this day.

[ellixian]

Awww. It's a gorgeous song though. Did you used to take drama/singing etc classes?

[kelbelle]

My degree is in Arts Administration with a theatre concentration. I mostly stage managed my way through college to keep my scholarship.

Now I have it running through my head.

(sidenote: must track closing night. also, find money for closing night DVD)

[girlie_girl_23]

OH MY STREEP. FALLING IN LOVE. I FUCKING DIED. LIKE, SIX TIMES OVER! NO, SERIOUSLY, ASK MATT. HE WATCHED WITH ME AND OH MY GOD, I WAS FREAKING OUT. And yes, there is adultery, but actually not... You have to see it. But oh my god, it is fucking fantastic, I think. I seriously am so in love with it, and with them in it. I was thinking of iconing it, but you are waaay better than me and I have other stuff I'm working on so yeah... But seriously, WATCH IT! I want to know what you think. Because oh my Streep, I loved it! jalflgh! I fangirl that movie so hard

[ellixian]

LOL OKAY, I SORT OF GATHER THAT YOU MAYBE JUST A LITTLE BIT LIKED FALLING IN LOVE. Is that a fair assumption to make? ;) OKAY. I am super excited about watching it now and will try my best to find time this weekend in between all the TV shows I have to catch up on (like Desperate Housewives, I can't read your posts because I want to avoid spoilers! *cries

[girlie_girl_23]

OMG HOW DID YOU KNOW?! You must be really astute to gather that. LOL.

Oooh, yes, catch up on DH. I want to know what you think!!

THEY ARE SO GORGEOUS IT KIND OF HURTS. They are so pretty. You should icon them. You really, really should. Because yeah.

I made a bunch more YouVote icons, and now I'm working on a batch from Desperate Housewives this week, but I'm kind of not sure if I like them or not. LOL.

MERYL IS LIKE, A LIVING GODDESS, AND YET SHE IS SO DORKY IT IS AMAZING! JALFJDALKGHALGH! OH MERYL, DON'T EVER, EVER CHANGE.

That is totally true. Good genes yes, but still a lot of freakin' work to be recognized.

I definitely will get to know her better. And oooh, I will definitely snag that. Yaaay! ♥

YES. IT WILL BE COMING. I PROMISE. But first I have to go to class. Blah.

IT IS THE BEST WAY EVAR! OMFG MERYL STREEP! JAFLJDALGHALGHALGH!

[ellixian]

OMG HAVE YOU NOT FIGURED IT OUT. I AM SUPER PSYCHIC. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO MERYL!!

Soooo much tv to watch. *weeps*

God, I can't get OVER those promo pics. THERE WILL BE ICONS, TRUST ME. But I'm being all mature and everything, and WATCHING THE MOVIE before I allow myself to go crazy. *weeps*

Yay for lots more icons! Especially from DH! I have a TON of old DH ones that I did of Tom and Lynette because I used to adore that ship SO MUCH.

OH GOD THAT'S THE BEST BEST BEST PART ABOUT MERYL. THAT SHE IS A GODDESS, AND SO TALENTED, AND CAN DO ANYTHING, AND YET IS A DORK, AND DOWN-TO-EARTH, AND FUNNY, AND JUST... *WEEPS* You saw her interview with Colin Firth on Rove, right? When she was SO amused by the term 'bitchslap'? and she was, like, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. ASLDJALSJDALDJLASDAO MERYL STREEP WHY YOU SO AWESOME. *CRIES*

Yaaaaaay for snagging Julia. She is AHMAZING. Pleeeease snag.

ENDS OFF WITH A BANG AS USUAL: MERYL STREEP ASDKLJSALDJOAWUEOADJASLDNALSFALDAS~!!!!!!!!!!!

*randomly interrupts whilst in search of icons*

Falling in Love is fan-frigging-tastic. And they even ease your conscience via the adultery angle. Don't me how. It just happens.

Also, Tale of Two Cities icons? Mebbe?

[ellixian]

Random interruptions of the flail variety always welcome!

Yay for another vote of confidence FOR Falling In Love! From the clips I've seen so far, I'm sure the movie handled the adultery angle really well - it's supposed to be like a tribute to Brief Encounter, isn't it? More about the process of falling in LOVE rather than in BED, which is great. :D

TOTC icons > eek! I haven't listened to that show or fallen into flail for it yet, I'm afraid. Although I plan to see it in NYC next January. If you have a particular picture you'd like iconed, I'm happy to help though! :)

[violettavalery]

I just visited NY (basically to see TOTC onstage) and rewatched Falling in Love the night before basically because of this. ;) And yeah, update of Brief Encounter, only in a shocking turn of events, it's way way better.

So I was completely expecting to be into Charles/Lucie, and instead it's all about the Defarges, for they are amazing. That being said, any of the following: one, two, three, four.

You rule. :D

[lfae]

JULIAAAAAAAA. *pounces*

CHEESE FACTOR = 1,000,000. WHICH MEANS: A++++ IN MY BOOK

That's SO daggy it's fucking awesome. xD

[ellixian]

Darn right you should be pouncing! I hope you've pounced on all the random ones I've put up so far. ;)

That's SO daggy it's fucking awesome. xD

Isn't it JUST. My favourite thing ever, honestly. XD
