    with Hugh Grant as her boyfriend, St. Clair Bayfield, in an upcoming Pathé / BBC Films production. FFJ was a rich New York heiress and socialite who decided she wanted to be an opera singer and sing at Carnegie Hall, and damn the naysayers.

    Now we know Meryl Streep can sing (Mamma Mia), but this is a different kind of comedic challenge ... :eek: :D

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    (If the pianist looks familiar, you may have seen him in A Serious Man ... and The Big Bang Theory.)
