Rented “Good Night & Good Luck: Live on Broadway” (On Demand) & it’s VERY good & just as timely as it was (if not MORE so!😬) when the film came out in 2005! Definitely worth a watch!👏🔥“#goidnightandgoodluck #broadwayproduction #goodnightandgoodluckplay #broadway #theatre #truehistory #mccarthyism

I’m not really a big believer in Tarot card readings but I’ve collected a few decks just for their artwork, so I just picked up this Edgar Allan Poe deck at Barnes & Noble tonight since I thought it would be appropriate for Halloween decor! Cool artwork, right?😍❤️🐦⬛#Halloween

I always try to catch this ever year when it airs on PBS — the Vienna Philharmonic Summer Night Concert; beautiful setting, soothing music, and ever changing light-displays across the palace grounds!😍✨❤️🎼 #ViennaPhilharmonic #music #PBS #GreatPerformances #Vienna

Checked out the new Match Game, and the forced/fake laughter/“banter” of the celebs on it is SO painfully unfunny to watch, especially compared to the fabulous genuine comic-chemistry of Charles Nelson Reilly & Brett Somers (& others) on the original show! THAT was comedy gold!😂🫡 I miss those two!❤️

Finally saw Superman last night! (on IMAX 3D, no less - best way to see it!) It was just as good as I’d hoped it would be!👍 (especially the bits with Krypto!😄❤️🐕) Good cast & a lot of fun to watch, really felt like a kid again like when I first watched the original Christopher Reeve film. #Superman

Been meaning to post about Loretta Swit’s passing; she was a big animal-lover & kind IRL (I followed her on X & she was always nice responding to posts!) & I loved the character-arc she helped give Margaret over the yrs, evolving from an unlikable shrew-stereotype into a strong & sympathetic woman!

Watching the rebroadcast of the 2025 Chelsea Flower Show on Britbox (which I highly recommend! So many gorgeous flowers!🌸💐🌹) which was going on while I was there in May on my UK bday trip! (didn’t go to it tho, since it’s tough to get tix to!) Makes me miss the UK even more!😭♥️ #RHSChelseaFlowerShow

Saw this the at the Noel Coward Theatre on my UK birthday trip in May; a very funny spy farce done by the same folks who did “The Play That Goes Wrong”! (which was also very good!) I think this is their best one yet! #theatre #westendtheatre #london #comedy #farce

Funny coincidence that the ep of Magnum, P.I. that I happened to see in my hotel room on my UK trip was also the first ep that I happened to catch when I came back to LA, a 2-parter where Magnum & the gang go to London!😄(& the 5th Doctor Who, Peter Davison, had a guest role!👍) #London #television

Today is my last full day in the UK before I have to fly back to LA tomorrow morning!😭 And I DON’T want to go since the UK is my one Happy Place!☺️♥️ (especially London!) Even all my UK chums agree that I’m really a Brit-soul who belongs here instead of being invisible in LA!🤗) #London #UKbirthdaytrip
