Myrna and Sheldn! 

That goes a long way to explain why she always felt so relatable.

And she is infinitely cooler that Burt Reynolds, who was always smarmy and gross.

I hope her and Garry and Carrie Fisher (who I’d always heard was Penny’s best friend) are all having a big party together in the great beyond.

Me just now: “Oh no, Penny Marshall died.”

Today, there will be allowances for crying in baseball.

Milk and Pepsi

How terrible. And she was relatively young too.

She was working as a secretary to support her daughter when she got divorced, had no idea what to do with her life, moved to LA to join her brother who was just starting to achieve some success, and made a living as the plain or outright ugly girl in multiple roles - once against Farrah Fawcett - before her wit and…

Fuck. And yet Dick Cheney still lives.

“I have a strange combination of fearlessness and massive insecurity. “

The poor girl burst into tears as John Boehner was some of what an idol to her. Pretty damaging to a 16-year-old.

I liked them when I was about 13-17 and an aspiring baby intellectual. All the namedropping worked for me as an adolescent. I aspired to a life where everyone quoted philosophy at each other at dinner.   I remember going out and buying and e.e cummings book because someone quotes him. As an adult, I find the films…

I had a crush on my physics teacher when I was a senior in high school. If he had made any kind of a gesture towards me, I would have been delighted.

She has always treated terribly in the press. God forbid that the problem lay with Eastwood, that stoic heroic manly man. Sondra deserved far better than a piece of shit obit like this.

The idiotic American Sniper movie, which completely omitted how Chris Kyle was an insane conspiracy theorist, pathological liar, virulent racist, and whose unabashed love of killing disturbed even his fellow Navy SEALs.

This made me take a sharp breath because it so perfectly encapsulates toxic workplaces. 

I’m okay with this so long as his future obit is written as “Clint Eastwood, mortal enemy of empty chair, dies at X”

I’m so sad! I had coffee with Ms. Locke a few years ago to discuss a project. She was so lovely. Kind, smart, a little eccentric, but really a joy to spend a morning drinking coffee (she had tea) and talking about film. She was such a talented woman, both as an actress and filmmaker. She will be missed.
