Adrienne Frantz? She's been trying to use Y&R to launch her various careers. I don't know what her management team is trying to do here, but the only Oscars mention she's possibly going to get is in a freerepublic.com thread: post #940-something.

Ya look good, honey!

THEN AGAIN.... playing a Y&R bit part sure didn't hurt Eva Longoria's career.

Maybe so ;)

In which case, someone’s glad to see them breaking down. I know her pain!

Holbrook was great in MAGNUM FORCE...Remember the Dirty Harry film? I remember Callahan’s quote at the end: “A man’s got to know his limits”.(Someone correct me if I remembered it wrong.)

Watching Michelle Tuzee w/ Randolph Duke in a post show on KABC-7.

I have new respect for Tilda. Very well spoken, humble, and a great sense of humor.

Question. Is Richard Roeper gay?

I still can’t believe that “Cars” didn’t win for Best Animated Picture last year!

Roeper just said Jon Stewart reminds him of Johnny Carson.

I call shenanigans.

Daniel Day-Lewis and his wife, with Paul Thomas Anderson. Who himself is married to SNL's Maya Rudolph. And famously dated Fiona Apple Maggart for years, prior to his marriage.
