Hey Dan. Thanks for the lists on Dakota Johnson. I kept watching movies that starred her, when the lightbulb finally went off that I should give her some UMR time in the spotlight….which also helped get her dad, Don in that spotlight. I recently watched The High Note (much better than I was expecting) and Our Friend (a sad but good movie). Not surprised she is not on the Oracle list….but I suspect she will be working her way onto the list. First list….Marcia Gay Harden gets the honors as most frequent Oracle co-star. I noticed that Melanie Griffith did not make that list….they appeared in two movies together…Crazy in Alabama and The High Note (though I did not notice Dakota’s mom in the second one). Not even double digit winners on the Oscar co-star list. Good stuff as always.
Great UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
