Catherine Deneuve. That’s not just a pose, that’s a philosophical statement delivered through the medium of cheekbones! cu

Hi friends! Can you all pray for a friend of mine and her baby Gwendolyn aka Gwen. She was born at 26 weeks at 2lbs 6oz. She came early into the world due to a placental abruption. Thank you so much Twitter fam ♥️

In your charity please pray for the family of Chicago Firefighter Michael Altman, who died on March 17th from injuries sustained while battling a fire. His funeral was scheduled for yesterday, March 27th, but was postponed after his wife went into labor with their second child.

Remembering the great English actor, Sir Dirk Bogarde, on his 105th birthday! Dirk Bogarde on why it is important to make some pictures even though they don't make any money: "Interviewer: You’ve said that that fine film of yours, 'King And Country' (1964), wouldn’t pay your income tax. Presumably, it didn’t make much at the box office. Can the film industry afford to make these specialised subjects? Bogarde: All the films I make are on a percentage basis with a minimal salary because I believe this to be the only way to make pictures. After two years 'King And Country' hasn’t even covered its cost, which was only £81,000. The truth is, most people just didn’t want to go and see that type of picture. But I still think it was worth making for the small number that did. You can’t always make purely entertainment pictures, after all. The odd thing is that although 'King And Country' didn’t pay the rent, I won more awards for that than any other picture. And Tom Courtenay, of course, won the Venice Award for the Best Actor for his part. So you win awards, get the satisfaction of having done a good cinematic job, but you make no money. Because of this, however, I don’t see that we should stop making pictures for the minority groups. Of course the British film industry can’t afford them. But then, the films that we are making now are being financed by the Americans, anyway. The British will under-write only the sure-fire success; they’re afraid to take risks. That’s bad luck for us and the cinema-goers, too." (Dirk Bogarde's interview to Showtime, 1967)

Brother Bill scored TDF tix to the Encores ‘Wild Party’ so here I am. I saw the original production at the turn of the century but have very little memory of it.

#FridayReads Happily doing homework for my public interview with crime writer Karen E. Olson April 2 at 7 p.m. at the Darien Library. ‘A Defiant Woman’ is the sequel to ‘An Inconvenient Wife’ - the novels move the murderous antics of King Henry VIII to contemporary America.
