One year I was She-Ra but it was raining and like 40° and my mom made me wear a white turtleneck under my costume. I was humiliated.

Asked my 14 yo if she knew the movie “Rocky.” She replied, “Oh, yeah, Rocky Horror Picture Show.”
You can’t convince me that’s not a parenting win.

He wasn’t just a movie star. He truly believed that film making was for everyone. That storytelling shouldn’t be limited to the people that could afford it. His work in creating the Sundance Institute and Film Festival has created ripples that will continue on. RIP, Mr Redford. 💗

Breaking news: Robert Redford, the big-screen idol turned Oscar-winning director, independent film advocate and environmental activist, died at 89.

Robert Redford, Screen Idol Turned Director and Activist, Dies at 89

He made serious topics like grief and political corruption resonate with the masses, in no small part because of his own star power.

I showed my husband where the edge of our microwave was sparking and smoking. He looked me dead in the eyes and sang, “🎶Micro killer, qu'est-ce que c'est? 🎶”

When I’m exasperated with my daughter I use her middle name (Louise). That morphed to when I’m exasperated with the dog I call her “Luna Louise!” And now, anyone who gets on my nerves is <first name here> Louise! It’s timeless.
