Note:  Claire was excellent in the play with her trademark emotional bursts.  It's amazing how easily she can cry on cue.  She truly is talented.

I met Claire Danes today and she didn't disappoint me.  She is so very beautiful (her beauty glows and shines with her golden hair) and generous and kind and nice.  She approached me first and signed my ( Read more... )

falling five by five

blood pouring down limber legs
disappearing down the watery drain
each punch a little bit tougher
than the last yet softer at the core

Today I met Eliza Dushku at the Tribeca Film Festival.  She was very nice and polite.  I told her, "Faith is the best Slayer" and that I enjoyed her in the film Nobel Son.  She said, "Thank you" in a very gracious way.  I asked her if I could get her autograph and a picture and she obliged me.  Eliza didn't forget about me when talking to someone ( Read more... )

Yesterday I met the talented, gorgeous, and adorable Laura Ortiz who plays Ruby in The Hills Have Eyes (2006).  She was very sweet and said little baby Maisie was the best.  She never cried.  She also said she keeps in touch with Aaron, but hasn't seen him in six months.  When asked about Aaron she said he is "the nicest guy" and "very down to ( Read more... )

"Can I buy you another margarita or have you had enough?  You've already had three.  This is only our second date," Doug said.
They were sitting at a bar and Lynn was really enjoying herself.  She placed her hand over Doug's.
"I was hoping you'd take advantage of me," she said, with a playful smile.
