Well, Robin; you are most welcome!! I'm really glad you and LF enjoyed it so much! (Hope you had popcorn to munch on, also! :o) She really is an incredible woman in so many ways----just 'bucking the system' is a great feat in itself! Wish we had more good movies like that being made.

I just did not like the red rose on Knightly's dress and I hope she was giddy out of embarrassment. All the discussions with her revolved around her pregnancy. She should GET MARRIED first and worry about award shows next year! Sandra's hair was horrid. The bangs in the face thing wasn't working for her. I am so glad I was not seeing the ratted, teased buns the teens are wearing at school. '60's Bee Hive is back and it is AWFUL! I loved that over all, the gals were covering up. The open backs were so sexy!! I hope the lack of cleavage catches on with the High School crowd. We bopped in and out at commercials on other shows we were watching so I was spared much of Ricky's torrents, but he sure got blasted yesterday on the news shows. Good, mean should be OUT.

I have read two of her books, and heard a radio interview on NPR. She is very interesting. The thing to remember is that she may have amazing intuition about what animals experience, but that does not make her an expert on everything about animals. She does say some simplistic things that we no longer think of as true about dogs in one of her books. I am dying to see the HBO special staring Claire Danes. Wow, what a transformation for that actress! It was definitely a role that requires an actor to inhabit a new persona. I wonder if she did it with some subtlety or if she is chewing the scenery. Any opinion, Cindy? I, too, must wait for HBO to release it to other outlets.

Temple Grandin has done several interviews and tv shows and she is a remarkable woman. Clare Danes's portrayal is certainly worthy of an Emmy. Temple Grandin has sever autism but still managed to earn a PhD in animal science. this is a link to her web site. Here is a link that might be useful: Temple Grandin
