However, a big part of me thinks it WAS more beautiful in those days... I don't think it really was, on the surface, but I think the whole world is not as nice, not as soft, not as slow and easy. <br /><br />We have so many more serious, huge, issues these days! The ecology, in particular, and, in general, I think folks are really concerned with their future... at least I am. It seems, to me, that the world is just not as gentle and forgiving as it used to be 25 to 30 years ago.

My mom (who responds to all my posts by email) told me that Steve gave a huge collection of beautiful art books to the town because he was so grateful to have been left alone. He is a nice guy!<br /><br />Dreamfarm girl: I would not want to be famous in such a visual way like an actor. It seems such a crazy way to try and live.<br /><br />Tracey: Thanks for the Oprah story. It all makes sense to me now - they shy thing, I mean. <br /><br />Dive Girl: My mom used to roll her eyes at Danger Bay. It must have been the terrible acting! I remember reading about a guy who had been a big fan of 'V' and when it came out on DVD (something he had been looking forward to for years) he was shocked at how bad it was! LOL! I'll just let sleeping dogs lie.Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-47532552894418499142009-12-03T13:01:45.328-08:002009-12-03T13:01:45.328-08:00Ooops - I meant What's she doing "now&quo...Ooops - I meant What's she doing "now"?Travel & Dive Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726948140601040484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-26258968125012707842009-12-03T13:00:49.082-08:002009-12-03T13:00:49.082-08:00These are such great memories to have. I remember...These are such great memories to have. I remember Danger Bay - I watched it in reruns a couple of months ago and couldn't believe how horrible the acting actually was. As for Darryl Hannah - what's she doing know? See where karma got here...<br /><br />I met Paul Newman once - he was so charming and handsome. He actually brought Krispi Kreme donuts to our office.Travel & Dive Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726948140601040484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-91002437610851880412009-12-03T09:24:45.410-08:002009-12-03T09:24:45.410-08:00What a funny story.
I've heard that Darryl ...What a funny story. <br /><br />I've heard that Darryl Hannah is EXTREMELY shy. In fact, 100 years ago when the cast of Steel Magnolias was on Oprah she did not come. She had so much anxiety about being in front of the live audience she could not leave her hotel room. So, in a way, I kinda feel for her, but maybe she should have chosen a different line of work.<br /><br />The only reason I remember this Oprah incident is because I watched it with my grandmother, and years later she would comment on how Julia Roberts was so ungrateful that she couldn't even do Oprah with the rest of the cast of Steel Magnolias. I tried to set Grandma straight, but she was having none of it. From that moment on she hated Julia Roberts with an unbecoming passion, and it was all caused by Darryl Hannah.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17502168917372783418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-78345334045461922162009-12-02T18:35:02.054-08:002009-12-02T18:35:02.054-08:00I've never really been a fan of Darryl Hannah,...I've never really been a fan of Darryl Hannah, so I'm not surprised she was snooty and too skinny. But I had a good laugh at the karma of you being snooty to a fan-loving actor. Guess you can't win if you're an actor! It would be rather dreary, I think, to have people recognizing you all the time. Fun story. Too bad you didn't get to meet Steve Martin, though. I bet he'd be nice!Dreamfarm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494214244290730058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-31406671775851611142009-12-02T16:55:44.711-08:002009-12-02T16:55:44.711-08:00Haha.

He is just a brilliant actor!<br /><br />I see that we have similar interests,not to mention styles of writing!Very cool to connect with another writer!<br /><br />Have a wonderful week!<br />MelissaMelissa Barrett-Traisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160981180142033454noreply@blogger.com
