My son had told me she went back to her maiden name in her first run for senator. It had something to do with whatever her married name is. The beief was that she would receive more votes using Landrieu. Any truth in it?

Yes, because her father, Moon Landrieu, was a popular politician. Using her maiden name meant that she would have instant name recognition.

Now, as for your other comment, the one about the P&P movie, the answer is no. It will not be a theatrical version of the 1995 mini-series. It is a made-for-the-theater movie starring Dame Judi Dench as Lady Catherine DeBourgh, Donald Sutherland as Mr. Bennet, Brenda Blethyn as Mrs. Bennet, Matthew MacFadyen as Mr. Darcy and Keira Knightley as Elizabeth.

I actually liked the Greer Garson version. Despite its lack of fidelity to the book, I believe it has its own special charm. I especially love the archery scene! I am also a fan of the 1979 BBC version. I watched it during my senior year of college (1981), but it had been shown in the UK on the BBC in 1979.
