The Hermès Birkin bag was named for her.
Jane Birkin also starred in two of my favorite Agatha Christie Poirot movies: Death on the Nile (1972) and the delicious Evil Under the Sun (1982) which I rewatch every summer. R.I.P. Ms. Birkin.

l love that movie. Such corny, hilarious Cold War era fun. RIP Alan Arkin.
If you can find a DVD that includes Norman Jewison's commentary on the making of The Russians it's worth a listen to.

Well for a decade he has been hearing from fans that his not changing plans when he had lighting in a bottle and bulled forward with his initial plot of the 200 year love story. So he snaps back
I know Phil Iscove not out there snapping at anyone when he, himself, changed OG author Washington Irving's Ichabod Crane from a played as a fool by Brom Bones, Katrina, and probably the entire town of Sleepy Hollow.
11 minutes ago, DearEvette said:Which brings me to the race portion of all this because usually these kickbacks to 'can't people just be friends" and 'they are giving sibling" vibes tend to be loudest when one pair of the shipping couple is a black female.
Yeah, that was the discussion going on elsewhere when Phil Iscove inadvertently hashtaged himself into the conversation. Guess he picked the wrong day to talk about shipping.

Now why did Sleepy Hollow creator, Philip Iscove take to Twitter streets declaring "Shipping nonsense! and how two people can just be friends blah, blah, blah" about fans shipping some couple on Hulu's The Bear? A show the man has nothing to do with! Guess Iscove thought nobody remembered his name. They did. Tweet deleted but the memory lives again.

I'm fifth in line at my local library for Mo Ryan's book.
I had forgotten Kurtzman and Orci's partnership ended during Sleepy Hollow. I'm sure the writers did feel like they were caught up in the hubris of a divorce. Kurtzman and Orci had known each other since high school.
On 6/7/2023 at 5:32 PM, DearEvette said:But a lot of what she talks about comes from three people she only refers to as Robert, Frank and Paul. Frank and Paul are definitely POC. Not sure about Robert. But they were all there from day 1.
If you go through Sleepy Hollow's IMDB writers' credits (yes I went there LOL) and narrow it down to 2013 or 2013-2014 and then, poof they're gone, you have the list on who "Paul", "Frank" and "Robert" probably are. Now "Kelly" who repeated the alleged biting incident, I already had strong suspicions about. There was a S3/S4 writer constantly doing the most praising the senior writers on social media during that time. Not surprised at all "Kelly" is still gainfully employed in the industry.

Every damn time. Yet again and again we find ourselves butting heads with those who refuse to believe there's nothing new under the sun.
I await reading Mo Ryan's book.

I'm disappointed that people give money to this cult. It's sickening that anyone especially a woman would think the head of Scientology is some great guy especially since his wife seems to have been disappeared in the way they do for well over 10yrs at this point. I can see why Scientology was after Will, Jada and their family because all the stories that come out about this not religion always seem to involve mayosapiens.
Scientology has Mary-Ellen of 'The Waltons’ on the hook for how much now?Judy Norton became a Scientologist at age 13. I suspect she handed over the bulk of her Walton's earnings from the day Norton got the role of Mary Ellen.

Update on the story, in which the 3 directors express confidence coming out of their conversations with Zaslav. (Whether that confidence is warranted, we shall see.)
Personally, I wouldn't trust him. Zaslav seems the type who says what you want to hear during the meeting then does what he wanted to do once you're out the door.
