Hey Dan.
1. Hope all is going well.
2. Good to hear from you…..seems my school career is getting crazier and crazier every year as I seem to be picking up more and more responsibilities. That is severely limiting my time here at UMR….but the summer is quickly approaching.
3. Somewhat surprised that Elizabeth McGovern is ranked that high on the Oracle list. I would have guessed she would not have even made the Top 1000.
4. Looks like she has a ton of Oracle co-stars with 2 movies….some are legends others are not.
5. Her Oscar totals are not that high….but some of my favorites.
6. Of her 33 movies, I have seen 19 of them. Favorites would include A Shock To A System (which features an outstanding fun role for Sir Caine), Ragtime (the last Cagney appearance), She’s Having A Baby (a pretty serious John Hughes production) The Bedroom Window (a Hitchcock rip off) and Kick-Ass (a fun movie…but I admit…I do not remember her part…I assume she played the hero’s mom?)
Good stuff as always.
