I also saw Garp when it first came out in theaters and was blown away by this actress, Glenn Close. Maybe she should have won the Oscar that year, as she is the film's moral center. I also still like the movie, even with its problems as you point out.

One year, for her mental health nonprofit, Bring Change to Mind, they honored Robin Williams! His kids were at the event and so was Billy Crystal.

What a great project, to go through Glenn's filmography! As a SF Bay Area writer, I've interviewed her twice for events she's hosted on behalf of her mental health nonprofit. She was very gracious in a phone interview, going nearly an hour over our scheduled time.

There could be some surprising but powerful people on the list, including invitees to the Bezos-Longoria wedding: Oprah Winfrey perhaps, pro-Harris activists Eva Longoria and Katy Perry: www.mercurynews.com/2025/03/26/o...

I just spent time on X, looking at scores of posts, sharing an evidently faked video claiming that Ben Stiller & other Hollywood stars received millions from USAID. Then I read about Musk getting to dismantle that with his young tech bros from the Bay Area. Yes, it's good to stay offline

My sister lives close by but I think she was out of town this weekend! A good weekend to be out of town, I guess.
