Ray was a star after all. And I hope he knew it. He never played up the title, just tried to get through the day or the endless night shoot. I don’t know how he died but I have some idea of what he left behind. Kindness, red hot talent, professionalism, beauty and a love of story telling. That’s all we do really. Ray would often call acting “playing pretend”. We would play in this pretend sandbox and when it was good we went home happy. When it wasn’t, we went home exhausted in many, many ways that no one can understand.
He left us with so much to look back on. I can imagine him flying free or maybe dancing. Free of all of this. So long old friend. It was nice knowing you for a little while. And thanks for the laughs. Your arms felt good around me.
No. Not Miles. My sweet Lenny. I can’t process this. It’s a bad dream. I loved you. So very much. One of the most beautiful souls on earth. Eyes of sparkling blue I shall never forget and the sound of your voice would tame the Lion. The last time we met he said “we were just babies!” And we were. Your calming nature made me feel like I was walking on a cloud and when I was unsure, he would place my face in his hands and tell me how excellent I was… I played for you Dohlen. #electricdreams you live on – together in Electric Dreams. I shall pop the “champers” for you. What a time we had.

Last night at @newbeverly was one of those once in a lifetime situations and I actually had a little something to do with it!
When I heard ‘CANDYMAN’ was playing, I tagged @virginiamadsen in the post. Then, @narcissusholmes and I started chatting about getting her out to the Bev to possibly introduce the film. I reached out to my good pals at the theatre and connected everyone and next thing we knew, Virginia was set to introduce the film! WHAT?!?
And what an introduction! Hearing that she was actually allergic to bees 🐝 and they had medics standing by while everyone else hid behind glass on set! What a trooper! And of course, an incredible actor whom I’ve always admired and I am honored to call her friend and that Grey gets to call her Auntie Gina 🖤
And so glad I had my fabulous movie friend, @gracemarian as my guest to enjoy this double (and the hilarious conversation between films)

Stand as tall as you can. Even if it’s only for the day. Tomorrow may bring new blessings. Wait. Photo by @narcissusholmes
Much to reflect upon this day of my birth. Thank you Mom and to my family who have stood by me and held me aloft always. Thank you to so many people who have sent me well wishes and love. There is always light at the end of any tunnel and after the storm there are rainbows. I love you!
Fan mail day- thank you all so much! I feel blessed by your letters. #fanmail
Back awhile – when Antony Star was supposed to be my son. I would have given birth at 12. So….. #americangothic #canada
This is what 90 is- Thank you my Mom who taught me to cry and laugh with abandon. You taught me so much about all things- you are the woman of the world and your whole family is grateful for you on this your 90th year. I hope to be you when I grow up. Thank you Bey. #iknowomanlikethat

Mother’s Day. I am most grateful for my family and Mombey is still vibrant and the great rock in our lives. Slightly glued to her phone but at 90 she can do what ever the hell she wants.

Only you sweet friend. If you looked at me I would stand in place and marvel at this true artist. Thank you. Thanks @narcissusholmes for this portrait.

An unsolicited snap during an Oklahoma sunset with my Movie Star whilst we waited for @mariannerendon to make us laugh for hours (she delivered).
