RIP Charlie - I watched a moving that said you single handily won the cold war, or at least that’s what Tom Hanks et. al. would have us all believe.

Oh my.

I read the book when it was first published- fascinating.

Rest in peace.

Joanne Herring (the real one) at the Hollywood premiere of Charlie Wilson's War. Her role was played by Julia Roberts in the movie.

The real Joanne King Herring was a Houston socialite and talk show host in the 1970s. She was the one who wanted Charlie Wilson to intervene in the war and she used her feminine wiles to get him to do it. She also intervened in the making of the movie and had all the swear words taken out because (as she said) none of my friends would believe this movie if it showed me swearing. (Of course, she didn't seem to mind that they showed her sleeping with a man, not her husband, to get her way in DC.)

I wonder if she will attend the funeral?
