—Angelina Jolie's reply to the rumors that she's in the running to play Hollywood goddess, Taylor, in Mike Nichols' movie based on the new book 'Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and the Marriage of the Century'.
It's a shame because she could pull it off. Angelina and Taylor both have the Hollywood glam looks, but it's their similar personalities that would make this a casting choice made in Tinseltown heaven. They are both shameless maneaters and yet their elegance and charitable endeavors often make you forget about those notch-mark qualifications. Plus, they're both intoxicatingly beautiful and are not afraid to publicly voice their opinions or give someone proper hell when they need to.
But it sounds like Angie has almost comitted to play power goddess Cleopatra.... a film that's in development about the legendary ruler, who was short and had a big schnoz.
"I would be honored," Jolie told reporters earlier this week about the Cleopatra role. "I'm fascinated by her and the mystery...but we haven't gotten a script yet. If the script is well crafted enough we'll try and make it.
And yes, Taylor played Cleo as well, even though she thought it was kind of ridiculous casting at the time—not the least of which because the woman was, to quote Liz, "very homely."
'Listen Ange,' Liz Taylor can get you access to the man you really want:...Oscar. We know you're dying to nab Best Actress eventually and this kind of role could be your chance to do it...'Just sayin'.
My dear sweet lady,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for the delay, I am almost finish with the business at hand.
Jolie may be the only one that can do Liz justice, they both are sexual women and yes they both are maneaters with an air of mystery about them.
Had the chance of meeting Liz a couple of times and boy she is a flirt, I enjoyed her company very much and of course Dick and my wife (Rosa) was there and I made sure they got the VIP treatment each and everytime they were there.
Madness my dear lady, yes and it's just begun .
People do realize the delicate balance of the ecology, they don't care, they are sitting back waiting on people such as you and my daughter to fix it, when you start making head way, they sit on their sorry a**** and complain( as my daughter puts it) My son says she has a way with words and when she gets mad, I don't know a damn thing she says.
Dear lady, I bet you can do a lot of things you are not telling, I will get it out of you eventually.
Yes I was quite a good dancer in my day, oh how I loved whirling the dark-haired ladies around the dance floor.(I prefer brunettes)
About this racial thing, I always knew it was a problem, always heard the "N" and Spic's words but only ignorant people say those words, no I am wrong a lot of educated people say it to, I think only to make themselves look better.
I, too, have been put in the mix with the N's and S's as you know they say all dagos are just N's with with straight are curly hair, my daughter says my son and his kids has nappy hair.
My daughter didn't or wouldn't marry my son, so he just moved in once she was out of town, then she got pregnant and they married.The folks at the casino found out they was an item and I heard Nan tell Joanna that one lady said that my son was a dago and my daughter told her she was aware of it but he was a rich dago and he was all hers. Nan told Joanna the woman was throwing herself at him and he told her he had what he wanted, sorry.My son don't bite words, I think thats why they get along so well.
There I go again, well dear lady , I am just making up for yesterday.
How is your Mother doing in this heat hope it has cool down up there because I know you are not used to this weather.
Hope your dear husband is in good form and spirits and is continuing to improve.
So dear lady I hope you and your dear family have a very nice weekend, I will talk with you over the weekend.
I like playing with this thing, it's very relaxing, so until next time.
G.
Dear G,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a very big and complicated undertaking for you to break away from your businesses.You have never been free of responsibility before, you won't know what to do with yourself. Just sit in the garden and watch those kids grow and listen to them laugh.
Wow, imagine meeting Liz and Richard in their heyday. I have heard she had incredible eyes.Did she give you a flirtatious look? What great memories you have.
Nee and I will keep nagging people about the climate change and other sins until it falls on the right ears, We are in the process of teaching others to nag too. My husband says nagging is my best accomplishment.
Do you know where the term Dago comes from? I remember a horrible joke from when I was a child in school."Italian tires are the best; dago through rain, dago through snow, dago wop, wop, wop."
I don't know what wop means either, I just know it's insulting.
I guess we are all targets. No one is immune from discrimination.
Excuse me for a few minutes. I must speak to your daughter. I'll be back...J
I'm back...boy that lady can talk.
ReplyDeleteCanadians are personified as kind of stupid,geeky rednecks (and we are).
Typical Canadian Joke:-
Doug spots Bob walking down the street with a case of beer under his arm.
Doug says,"Bob, whatcha got the beer for,eh?"
Bob says,"I got it for my wife."
Doug says,"No shit, eh? Good trade."
I just looked up 'dago'. The most popular explanation is that Italian immigrants coming to America could only find one day's work at a time and so they were paid as the 'day goes'.
'Wop' came from guappo, meaning, belonging to the Guapperia(similar to the Mafia)in the province of Campania. Can also mean arrogant or aggressive.Interesting, huh?
I have heard that Gil really pursued Nee, even to moving into her apartment while she was away. He sure knew what he wanted. She was skittish because she had come out of a very bad marriage and wasn't too keen to try it again.
I had exactly the same story. After my divorce I swore off men completely for three years. Then I dated one briefly,then met Brian and he was quite aggressive in his pusuit of me. We eventually moved in together on a trial basis but I did not want to get married again. He proposed almost every day until he wore me down.So I have not had experience with many men but you are not so hard to figure out. You all just think you are.
Nee told me about the trees being poisoned on your property.What kind of nut-bar would do that? And what could he possibly hope to gain from it? I hope you find him. He needs treatment. Some of the things she tells me about make me kind of glad that I live a sheltered life in a relatively safe place.
The heat is pretty relentless up here.And the humidity is really hard to take; hard to breath. The old folks like my mom feel it the most. She is quite frail. But she is the bulldog breed, very strong in spirit and too mean to die.She doesn't like anyone and she's not afraid to tell you.
Now she was a good dancer in her day. She loved it.
Stay well and take care of Joanna. I enjoy chatting with you....J
