I reluctantly watched the movie _Spanglish_ at the insistence of a friend, and I fell in love with **Paz Vega**. ---

The three women who were the unquestioned goddesses of my adolescence: Barbara Eden, Mary Tyler Moore, and Elizabeth Montgomery. The women who filled many of my dreams during my teenage years: Victoria Principal and Kim Basinger. And I will second Grace Kelly, who may be the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. And since she was reputedly quite the slut, if I was an LA pool boy in the 50s, I mighta had a shot at her! 😛 ---
