Happy Birthday, Shirley!

Me: I can't believe they're showing the SAME Shirley Maclaine movies on TCM this year that they showed last year.
BB: I can't believe you've been obsessed with Shirley Maclaine for over a year.

So there it is. I'd write more, but I'm too busy working on my chick-flick screenplay about two estranged sisters who come together to care for their ailing, 90-something mother. One of the sisters is 30; the other just turned 74. And maybe part of the plot is, the mother holds the world's record for "longest time between two births."

Whatever. How else am I (or someone playing me) going to get to be Shirley's sister?

And maybe the tag line would be, "One of them lived through the Depression. The other just takes a pill for it." Or not.

Ok, I liked that.

That's a good tagline, Carli. I'd run with it.
