Memorable Quotes: I learned that when you are willing to make sacrifices for a great cause, you will never be alone, because you will have divine companionship and the support of good people. This same faith and cosmic companionship sustained me after my husband was assassinated, and gave me the strength to make my contribution to carrying forward his unfinished work. \n"I believe all Americans who believe in freedom, tolerance and human rights have a responsibility to oppose bigotry and prejudice based on sexual orientation." \n\n"Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people." \n\n"Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul."\n\n"The value of life in our cities has become as cheap as the price of a gun." \n\n"In this country. we vigorously regulate the sale of medicine and severely limit the advertising of cigarettes because of their effect on human health. But we allow virtually anyone in America to buy a gun and virtually everyone in the nation to see graphic violence." \n\n"When I say I was married to the cause, I was married to my husband whom I loved -- I learned to love, it wasn't love at first sight -- but I also became married to the cause. It was my cause, and that's the way I felt about it. So when my husband was no longer there, then I could continue in that cause, and I prayed that God would give me the direction for my life....But then I finally determined that it was the King Center, because Martin's message and his meaning were so powerful....So I felt that my role, then, was to develop an institution, to institutionalize his philosophy, his principles of nonviolence and his methodology of social change, and that's what I have spent my years doing."

I was at the N. American premiere at the Toronto Film Fest. It was great. Tender, raw and touching. It terms of the technicals, great cinematography, better than in 21 grams, and that had beautiful shots. The whole crowd clapped so loud at the end, gave Inarritu and the cast including Pitt a standing ovation. I know what your thinking you have to because they are present, but I have been to a bunch and this does not always happen. Serious Oscar contender.

One of the best toasts I ever heard was this (to a couple who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary):\n\n"May you live as long as you want to, and 'want to' as long as you live!"\n\nI've been with the same woman for 23 years now and we both still "want to", so I guess we're doing alright!

Joan Crawford won the Best Actress Oscar for Mildred Pierce. This triumph was followed by an equally rivetting performance in 1946's Humoresque, co-starring John Garfield as a violin protege whose talent is nurtured by Joan's lushly world-weary, ultimately suicidal Helen Wright. The string of well-acted, well-produced dramas continued in 1947 with Possessed, starring Joan as an emotionally unstable nurse who becomes obsessed with the callow engineer played by Van Heflin. Possessed, with its disturbing portrayal of mental illness, brought Joan her second Oscar nomination. Unfortunately, and predictably, the Oscar High didn't prove to be sustainable.\n\nHope this helps! :o)

Oscar The Grouch.  He didn't buy into all the happy days thing everyone else was preaching.  He did his own thing no matter what other people said!
