I can't say it any better than Francis Ford Coppola: “The loss of a great artist, always cause for both mourning and celebration: Gene Hackman a great actor, inspiring and magnificent in his work and complexity. I mourn his loss, and celebrate his existence and contribution.”

Watching a Sondheim interview and he's talking about lyric writing. “And things can catenate… Oh, I didn’t think, “pinch, punch, paunch… PENSION!”
This post isn't about Sondheim. It's about my never having heard the word catenate before. I swear. I like having a new word. I can't wait to use it.

Busting all my buttons (as the old expression goes) over my daughter Charlotte Emerson Fassler's directing debut with "My Fault: London" premiering TODAY on Amazon Prime! Here she is at the premiere last week in London. ❤❤❤ Tune in and see what all the fuss is about.
