Great article! So…I told myself that I would not binge watch the entire 4th season of G&F in one sitting (as had been my practice with the previous 3 seasons). I wanted to make it last. Savor the episodes…you […]

Hi Jane,
Thanks for sharing this article. The Dollmaker is one of my favorite of your films. If I’m not mistaken, that was made for TV and you won an Emmy for playing Gertie. Am I right or am I having a senior […]

Hi Jane, I marched in Lexington, KY and even though our numbers weren’t nearly as large as your march in LA, it was an unbelievable crowd that seemed to grow and grow. I don’t think I can describe in mere words […]

Neither was I. They lost me after 2 episodes. I’m currently 4 episodes in on the documentary Making a Murderer. Not one I can binge through as each episode makes me so angry that something like that can happen in […]
