LOL...yeah. The rental price on Prime is $40 and the BluRay price is about the same!

But I found the DVD at our public library and put a hold on it. Too bad they don’t have the BluRay at the library.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Yep. Kirstie was more relatable and had more range than Shelly. (Not to mention more attractive, imo)

Even when she was heavy, she had a beautiful look and a serious intelligence. RIP

The Civil War North & South mini-series is divided into three separate “books:” Book I North & South, Book II Love & War, and Book III Heaven & Hell. Books I & II are very good, each with six episodes. It could have ended there. Heaven & Hell, meh. Couldn’t finish it. After multiple attempts.

Yes, I didnt care for Shelly Long.
Another good show to binge watch is Frasier.

I was having some heart pain and I made sure I told the Doctor about the pain in mouth because I had seen that Niles episode. LOL. My Dr. ended up ordering a test because of the jaw pain.

She was in a British show called “Time Crashers” in which a group of personalities had to live for a day in an assigned role in some time in the past. It ran for one season. This one was in Edwardian times. They were servants in an Edwardian Manor

She really did a wonderful job. Truly took on the role and didn’t complain.

She was a voice of sanity. She warned about Hollywood pushing the acceptance of pedophilia over a year ago.

Loved her on “Cheers”. She was also great in a long-forgotten but excellent thriller “Shoot to Kill” also starring Sidney Poitier and Tom Berenger.

She supported Bush 20 years ago, and was fat shamed. She was a supporter of candidate Trump as well as President Trump.

One of her movies that I enjoyed was “Sibling Rivalry” with Jami Gertz. Very good comedienne.

“Doubt it as she is a Scientologist. They don’t do vaccines”

Do we know if she had a vaccine? I didn’t notice that.

Given that she is/was a Scientologist it's highly doubtful she was vaccinated.
