That was her all right. Good, but not her best role. A gifted actor, she has had an illustrious career but alas may be best known for her acceptance remarks upon winning a second Oscar for 'Places in the Heart'. (first was for 'Norma Rae', a movie based on a real-life factory worker and subsequent Union Organizer). She had worked very hard to shed her reputation as a lightweight after playing leads in 'Gidget' and 'The Singing Nun', so after winning for the second time gushed these immortal words (often misquoted - and misunderstood - it was from a line in Norma Rae): 'You like me, right now, you like me'.
Ha. I never knew that was a line from the movie. I also didn't know the real quote; thought "you really like me" was part of it.Congrats on your stars.
Thanks everyone. And special thanks to Andre for composing and sending a tweet about it! We can learn much from Andre, he is a master...

Odd how often the ones exerting themselves to fight a street myth are discovered on closer inspection to have created it themselves.
You mean like that myth I spread about my being a really hot babe?
No review, but one does not expect that from readers. Just grateful someone took the time to rate.
I expect I can thank KDP Select for that...
