Happy 23rd Birthday Kristen Stewart!

Kristen Stewart is 23 today. I know this may upset some Twilight fans, but it is a great mystery to me how she's landed lead roles in some pretty big films. If the roles call for monotone script reading with a wooden expression, lip biting and hair-flipping, then I guess she's your girl.

When my daughter wrote a one-act play for the "Theater of Note" a number of years ago, I got to watch the auditioning process. I was just an observer but got to witness some phenomenal actors. They were artists who were still pounding the pavement everyday...waiting for their "big break."

I suppose Kristen Stewart was just "in the right place at the right time." Many times that's all it takes in Hollywood.

There, I said it. That's how I feel.
...I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Happy 61st Birthday Marilu Henner!

Dear Marilu,
Happy 61st Birthday! I'll bet today was a birthday you'll never forget...Because you can't! You have "Superior Autobiographical Memory" which means you recall almost every day of your life. I saw you on 60 Minutes a few years ago and they featured you and your amazing memory. At least I think it was you...I can't quite remember...You see, I DON'T have your memory! I can barely remember what I did 5 minutes ago!

Loved you on Taxi and in L.A.Story...
Regards, Mrs Love

Happy 91st Birthday Doris Day!

Dear Doris,
Today you're 91. What have I learned from you? That everyone looks better with a blurry filter. Once you got a few lines on your face, you had a contract that all your closeups had to be filmed with the blurry filter...sometimes called the "Doris Day filter." It's especially noticeable in some of your most popular films when Rock Hudson is still in sharp focus, but you're all fuzzy and glowing.

Now I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm grateful for today's Photoshop and Instagram. Truth be known, I rarely post any pictures of myself online that don't have the "Doris Day filter!" Thanks for the great idea! As far as I'm concerned no "que será será" for me...no "whatever will be will be!" Why not make it all fuzzy and glowing, like you did?!
Happy 91st!
Regards, Mrs Love

Happy 99th Alec Guinness!

Dear Alec "Obi-Wan Kenobi" Guinness,

Today you would be 99 yrs old but you left us in 2000. May I ask you a Star Wars question? This is something that has bothered me...

Why did Obi-Wan age so much between Star Wars 3 & 4? Perhaps your wrinkles & white hair can be explained by living outdoors for 20 yrs (in a cave, but still). Furthermore, you lived in windy, dry conditions & under double suns. Living under two suns must've wreaked havoc on your skin. (I know what one sun can do!)

So maybe this is why you looked like Ewan MacGregor once & then like you! These are the things that keep me up at night...

May The Force continue to be with you...wherever you are!
Regards, Mrs Love

Happy 74th Birthday Ali MacGraw!

Happy 74th Birthday Ali MacGraw!
If love means never having to say you're sorry...I didn't get the memo. I say it all the time. Sorry I didn't take your shirts to the dry cleaners...Sorry I didn't make dinner...Sorry I missed your call, I was busy playing Angry Birds...my list goes on and on...

Happy Birthday Alice Cooper!

Happy 65th Birthday Vincent Damon "Alice Cooper" Furnier.
Whenever I forget to take off my eye makeup at night, I see your face in the bathroom mirror when I wake up.
Regards, Mrs Love

PS. Loved your restaurant in downtown Phoenix "Alice Cooperstown." Love how all the waiters do their makeup like you!
