Joanna Moore

A sweet Georgia voice, beauty, and very good acting ability.

I've seen her in many shows and today they played a number of her acting examples on METV in Westerns.   I always recognize her when she's in a movie or an episode on TV.   Thankfully, her beauty still lives on in films.

How Humans Formed Language

Evolution through teaching and toolmaking.

Toolmaking and Language

So it seems that the need to teach and communicate helped develop our language ability.

English: The Language of Science

English - tough translations

Those of us lucky enough to be born into the language may have an edge in science.  Still, I've found many who have learned it as their second language mastered it often beyond native speakers.  It is a challenge but it can be overcome.

Sandy Dennis

I just watched an episode of the fugitive titled The Other Side of the Mountain.  Dennis played a young West Virginia girl who became attracted to the fugitive, Jannsen.   She played the part well.   It is easy to imagine that she became a very successful actress during her time.  Her soft voice and expressive facial mannerisms are endearing and believable.

I checked to see what else she was doing and was saddened to read that she had passed away at age 54 from cancer.

Jewell: Another Clint Eastwood Masterpiece?

Great Review

I can't wait to see it and am still amazed that a 90 year old Eastwood is out there creating memorable films.  May he live and work well into his 100's if he chooses to.


Oh and today I saw him as a gunfighter in an episode of the western Maverick.  He already had the moves to now seem obvious as pure Hollywood perfection on film.
