Geena Davis was a semi-finalist in 2000 Sydney Olympics trials in Archery. She took up archery at 41.

Awesome story—

Anyway, Jason Miller is originally from Scranton, PA. He wrote a play "That Championship Season", of which he won a Pulitzer.

Because of the way he treated his wife, Jackie Gleason had him blackballed in Hollywood.

He returned to Scranton, was a falling down alcoholic who was mocked by people at the bars (Farley's, for those Scrantonians reading this), until he finally passed away.

It's was really sad to see.



Jason Patric has been a working actor for 30+ years

Interesting. She told everyone she was Italian. Where I'm from, biracial people say they are Native American or Melungeon.


Because she is.


I think she's Italian or her family went through great lengths to pass. Everyone would have had to have been in on it.

And it appears Sting and Trudie Styler too. They were neighbors and he was married at the time to Trudies’ best friend.

Reminds me of the line at the pool table that Sheen says to President Michael Douglas. Nvm. I doesn’t remind me well enough to repeat it.

From memory: “Without me, you’d be the most popular history professor at the University of Wisconsin.”
I love that movie.

Yes! A great movie. If I watched it now, I'd just cry. On so many levels. Just cry.
