I'm a fan (and you should be too) because... I absolutely admire this talented women. As an aspiring actress I can only hope that someday I can be as great as she is. I had the joy of meeting her briefly at her book signing in New York and she was a most marvelous person. She give me excellent advice and I will implement into my acting and singing. I've seen many of her movies and own all of her CD's. My next wish to to get to see her someday on stage which I have not had the honor to do yet but hope to do soon.
