Walking Tours & a Film for International Women’s Day

"March 8th is International Women's Day," Chioma told Dushan. "This year's theme is Embrace Equity. We all want a gender equal world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. Women should be celebrated for their achievements and their contributions to society. They should be seen and recognized for their value. They deserve to live in a …

Movie, Porridge & The First Kiss

Dushan stood up and pulled on his coat over his denim shirt and jeans. It was time to head down to the JW3 Center where he was meeting Chioma. They were going to see the movie, Mothering Sunday. He was really looking forward to seeing her again. He grabbed his wallet and keys. After locking …

The Gala

As the guests trickled in, he greeted them with smiles and handshakes. The women were dressed to the hilt in their exquisite gowns and adorned with Opals and onyx while the men sported tuxedos. Every now and then, his gaze drifted over to where the cars were, expecting to see her alight from one of …

In five years she made ten films, starring opposite Stephen Boyd, Montgomery Clift, George Hamilton and Robert Wagner following her debut film, Loving You with Elvis Presley.

Resistance is Futile

After a few moments into the movie, she switched off the television.  No use in wasting time watching a film that didn't synchronize with the sound.  Besides, she was distracted. She couldn't stop thinking about Jude Beresford. When they first met, she couldn't stand him.  He oozed a sensuality that was palpable. While it got …

Former First Lady Dies

Former First Lady Nancy Reagan died today of congestive heart failure at the age of 94.  She was gracious, fiercely protective of her husband President Ronald Reagan.  She was always by his side.  They were inseparable.  And whenever they were apart, they couldn't wait to be together again.  It seems as if their love just grew …

Dame Angela Lansbury

I still watch Murder, She Wrote because I like the show and the character Jessica Fletcher played by the great Angela Lansbury.  My 7 year old son is also a fan of Jessica Fletcher's.  Before taking on the role of a mystery writer in one of the longest running detective drama series in television history, …

Maureen O’ Hara

Every star has that certain something that stands out and compels us to notice them. -As for me I have always believed my most compelling quality to be my inner strength, something I am easily able to share with an audience.
