Seriously. You don't mess with Marilyn Whirlwind. She's a national treasure.

Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”

‘Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it ‘fake,’ she says

Farewell, Diane Keaton - Annie Hall to me, always. I watched that movie 40ish times, while quarantined in my apartment for three months with contagious hepatitis. I had one cable channel back then (1978). I could probably still recite the whole movie on demand (No one is demanding it!)
