WORTHY TV

Ho, ho, ho everyone - just a couple of things worth mentioning regarding TV on Christmas:

*Andrew Sanford (who was in Sweeney with me and is a super kid) will be appearing in The Christmas Card a movie that plays tonight on the Hallmark Channel. According to his Mom Amy, Andrew has a scene with Ed Asner - cool! Congrats Andrew. It airs tonight at 7 PM. Here's the link.

*Today I saw a great little documentary called Life After Tomorrow - about the little girls who have played Annie and the effect on them now that they are adults - including Ms. Sarah Jessica Parker. I'm not quite sure why the two actresses whom I mostly identify Annie with are missing from the documentary - Andrea McArdle (original on Broadway) and the girl who played her in the movie - Eileen something. There goes MY memory - anyway I thought it was a fun & revealing look at children & their stage Mothers and also the effects of hitting puberty and playing the part - very interesting.

I feel a certain nostalgia when I think of this musical because it is the show that made a great impact on me when I was a kid in Peru and saw a touring production. I knew at that moment what I wanted to be: an orphan! No, I wanted to be on stage with them so I am thinking the acting bug hit at that moment. Hee, hee. Anyway - the movie plays on Showtime. Here's the movie's link.

*Tomorrow night the Kennedy Center Honors will be televised on TV (check your listings) and it includes honors to Steven Spielberg, Dolly Parton and Andrew Lloyd Webber (one of my idols Betty Buckley performs) - It'll be nice to see. I did read that Jessica Simpson totally flubbed 9-5 live and they had to re-shoot the song. So I'm sure the perfect televised version will be aired but we know better. What the fuck is SHE doing singing Dolly Parton anyway - off with her head! =+)


Santa was very good to me. I was exhausted yesterday because I cooked and cleaned all day (and had a couple of cocktails too =+) So I think I passed out at 7 PM last night.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Mwah!
