So F*ing Depressing →
ilikerainbowsandwriting:
One of the most fabulous women in acting history, known for her roles as Queen Elizabeth in Shakespeare in Love, Lady Catherine Debourgh, and many others, Dame Judi Dench has come out recently saying she is fighting impending blindness. She says in this article that she can’t even read scripts.
If she goes blind, it will be a sad day for the acting world and fans...

“She’d say amazing things. I heard her on...

“Recordé haber leído que el mejor lugar para ocultar una hoja es un bosque. Antes de jubilarme trabajaba en la Biblioteca Nacional, que guarda novecientos mil libros; sé que a mano derecha del vestíbulo una escalera curva se hunde en el sótano, donde están los periódicos y los mapas. Aproveché un descuido de los empleados para perder el Libro de Arena en uno de los húmedos anaqueles. Traté...

Maggie Smith v Shirley MacLaine - Hell yes!
slippingandsliding:
“Julian (Fellowes) has written another brilliant character in Martha Levinson, who will be a wonderful combatant for Maggie Smith’s Dowager Countess, and we are excited at the prospect of Shirley MacLaine playing her.”

Voices
le-voyeur:
You know that ringing sound that you will perceive when you are in a very quiet area? Some people say this is an auditory-illusion brought about the ear’s inability to detect frequencies below the threshold of the human senses. This is completely wrong. That ringing covers up something else altogether. If you are quick, patient, and maybe a little lucky, you will be able to hear past...

slippingandsliding replied to your link: Roger Moore: yes. Joan Collins: perish the thought.
I rather wish it was Michael Caine but alas. Roger though might well do - as long as it isn’t in his smarmy 007 guise. I never really liked his 007 with all the double entendres. As for Collins - too horrific a prospect to stomach. Just NO!
