No, afraid not. But she's still scared of me. Saw her about four years ago, when I was out and about. She caught one glance at me and ran back into the remote truck. Astromancer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I gather that it didn't make it to broadcast? Martin

And, after a moment's thought, I should add that someone *did* think that Hitler was doing some good. Back in 1938, he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Seriously. Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know that, in H'Wood, microphones are stuck in celebs' faces

funny you mention the responsibility of the actors themselves. People like Redford, Newman, Morgan Freeman, the late Robert Urich--all live or lived outside of Hollywood and were very careful with interviews, where they hang out, etc. As for Smith, I just listened to a podcast of him on Tavis

Statements like this almost always get you in trouble, no matter what you intend. Whenever you say that an evil person didn't set out to do evil, it's bound to cause issues. I'm not sure what the exact quote from Smith is, as he obviously seems to think he was misquoted... ***
