What!!!???<br />I'm envious that the old bat Orla still, at age 50, is fortunate to have her mother. <br />I was just looking in the mirror and realizing that, at age 58 now, it's taken me nearly 20 years to get used to the idea of becoming (and looking like) an old woman. Maybe I'm just a slow learner, but I'm guessing it's a hard fact to accept, for many of us. Anyway, Happy Birthday to your darling daughter, and congratulations to you for raising such a good gal. <br />Can't wait to see Maudie. And one of your plays filmed -- wow!
