A gray tabby cat lounges before a window, staring through the camera lens into the viewer’s soul. Her whiskers are white brush strokes and her nose is a pink triangle. Behind her is a small, imperfectly trimmed but lovely bouquet of pink roses.

I JUST MET TONY KUSHNER
I’m not usually the type to speak to heroes but I had to.
He was so gracious and asked my name!
I was tongue-tied but managed to get out:
“I did Angels 10 years ago and it was one of the defining moments of my life.”

This is my daughter Claudia and I love her. She recently turned 5 but she’s still small enough to fit all four of her feet on top of this jewelry box.
