TCM Remembers Joan Plowright

TCM Remembers David Lynch

Joan Plowright starred in two of my favorite films - Widows' Peak and Enchanted April. The latter I watch every - April. Impeccable comic timing in both. May she rest in peace.

The AI was bad and if this gullible woman read articles about Pitt and Ines de Ramon, why did she not pay heed no one in the industry also spoke of Pitt's serious health problems? OTOH, last month I listened to that Sweet Bobby podcast where an intelligent woman apparently never asked herself why a man supposedly in the witness protection program kept reaching out to her, family, and friends. And let's not forget the "Tinder Swindler" who constantly asked for money to protect him from his enemies. I've come to the conclusion scammers have a sixth sense on whom they can play the long con on. They move quickly from hardcore skeptics and know what buttons to push for those who might take the bait. I would have been the former and told "Brad" to go ask George Clooney for a few bucks.
