A few items of note
As we approach the end of the year, here are a few items I've noticed in the news:
- The Hollywood Reporter reported on the recent event at the Paley Center in LA that honored Carl Reiner and Showtime. Tracey was there to help honor Showtime, and she made an observation about The Tudors -- quoting: "attending school as a youngster in England, she believed that King Henry VIII was 'fat and bald. But when he's being brought to you in the 21st century by premium cable, he's Jonathan Rhys Meyers.'" The truth wouldn't have been as much fun....
- The Tale of Despereaux is opening on Friday, and the buzz appears to be good. Some promo clips and behind-the-scenes clips have appeared on YouTube, legitimately or otherwise....
- Tedd Thomey passed away earlier this month. What was his connection with Tracey? Well, he was the author (in the "as told to" sense) of The Big Love, the book that led to the 1991 Broadway play that starred Trace.
- And in 2 weeks, there will be important birthdays and anniversaries approaching (more on those later)
