her ass show on that movie?

Not to be some sick person raving over the buttox of a now deceased woman, just a curious question. I am sorry that all of yesterdays best actors are dying and being replaced with the worlds most un worthy people who cannot act. I can name oh so many, but the list is far to long, don't ya think?

There's always been good actors and crap ones, I think it's a bit absured to say that all the great actors are dying and all we have now are shit ones.

Don't you think you're being a bit stereotypical? I certainly wouldn't describe Tom Hanks or Al Pacino or Denzel Washington or Samuel L. Jackson etc etc etc like that.

Oh, I'm sure they've all gotten penis enlargements and reductions. No one is sane in Tinseltown.

great back&forth. I was surprised to hear feminine voices of Wil Smith, Warren Beatty and Joe Pecci. btw, it seems Mel Gibson has profited tremendously from voice lessons.....unless he is self-taught.

dtheatre, what do you mean with your:
     " her current husband, Robert Brandt,"
             married for over 41 years  doesn't signal a mere "current" marriage, does it ?

just wondering
