Fabulous and Over 40

December 1, 2016 4 Comments

Now that I’m in my 40s, I tend to find myself drawn to actresses over 40. They have a maturity, yet a young and playful side to them, that I find appealing and down-to-earth. Wendi McClendon-Covey. Melissa McCarthy. Octavia Spencer. Amy Poehler. Debra Messing. These beautiful women are some of the most incredibly talented and funny women in movies and television today… and they are all fabulous and over 40! They have starred (separately, and sometimes together) in some of my favorite movies and TV shows. Wendi and Melissa co-starred in the all-female hit Bridesmaids, but I love Wendi as the sexpot […]

Can You Guess Their Famous Fathers?

June 12, 2016 No Comments

Sometimes I think it’s easier to break into the Hollywood scene if your parents are already in the industry. I, myself, am not famous and I don’t have “famous” parents (although I think my mom and dad are pretty awesome). So it’s no wonder that there is a whole generation of actors that we love to watch now, only to discover that their mother and/or father are actors themselves. I was watching Hawaii 5-0 a few months ago because my friend from high school, Kinna McInroe, had a guest spot on an episode that aired on Jan. 8th. As I was watching […]

Fabulous and Over 40

Wendi McClendon-Covey. Melissa McCarthy. Octavia Spencer. Amy Poehler. Debra Messing. These beautiful women are some of the most incredibly talented and funny women in movies and television today… and they are all fabulous and over 40! They have starred (separately, and sometimes together) in some of my favorite movies and TV shows. Wendi and Melissa co-starred in last summer’s hit Bridesmaids, but I love Wendi as the sexpot in Reno 911! And Melissa was the lovable Sookie in Gilmore Girls. Octavia Spencer won an Oscar for her role in The Help, and she has had many supporting roles in both TV and film. […]

Opie Grows Up, a.k.a, The Fantastic Mr. Howard

December 5, 2012 No Comments

“It was always my dream to be a director. A lot of it had to do with controlling my own destiny, because as a young actor you feel at everyone’s disposal. But I wanted to become a leader in the business.” (Photo Source: www.biography.com) Opie, otherwise known as Ron Howard, sure has grown up since his role as Andy Griffith’s son. Ron Howard has made his mark on the entertainment industry as an actor, a director and a producer. To me, he is a true fan of films and TV. I often thought that I was somehow, in some way, […]

One Season Wonders

August 10, 2012 No Comments

There are very few TV shows that hook you in the first episode of the first season. The commercials for a “series premiere” of a new show can peak our interest, helping us decide whether or not we want to watch the first episode. Once we’re hooked, we have got to be willing to invest the time to see how these characters develop and how the storyline evolves. Some shows last five, six, even ten seasons; however, there are some good TV shows that only lasted one season. Here are a few of my favorite “one season wonders.” 1. Freaks […]
