For those who don't know me...

Do... review #movies, #TV and #books from any year and genre. These often with a mention of soaps #Dallas or #Dynasty or include their stars. Or #AlainDelon and #RomySchneider.

Don't... talk politics, Watership Down or the latest gossip..

RIP, Catherine O'Hara, gone too soon. I loved her early work in SCTV, and always enjoyed seeing her pop up in film and TV. She always made everything she was in just a little bit better by virtue of her presence.
