1. Tom Jones was the first movie that made me feel "Randy, Baby'...

3. I was just watching "Superman: The Movie" in which she plays Superman's Kryptonian mother.

Just an hour ago.

She was forty-one or forty-two when she made that movie. And absolutely stunning...

I haven't seen her in a movie in ages. But I will miss her... :-(

Safe passage to her...

I loved her in "Tom Jones."

5. She was in "A Man For All Seasons," one of my favorite movies.

She was 72? Time sure flies... She was a fine actress.

10. That's sad. The Oscars will probably omit her from the "in memoriam" segment

-and claim afterwards that they "didn't have enough time" to re-edit the segment.

11. She's amazing in 'The Killing of Sister George' (1968).
