…I’m just reading about that movie now…it apparently had the tagline of Marilyn Monroe and "Niagara" a raging torrent of emotion that even nature can't control!…that’s a great tagline, isn’t it……a line from that character/Rose that you’ve portrayed…?….’I'm meeting somebody, just anybody handy, as long as he's a man!…’….I mean honestly that’s so old time Hollywood and so Marilyn, isn’t it…she was that vampy femme fatale with all of the vulnerabilities blended in there as well…

…that’s such an iconic image of Marilyn that you’ve chosen, LaLaLand….it really does show all of the vulnerabilities and uncertainties inside that ‘torrent of emotion’….to give that depth of the person and the character to such an iconic image really is no small thing, you’re an incredible talent and your love of celebrity shines with all of your likenesses……just gorgeous…
