For the longest time I thought that Larry Bird (basketball player, Boston Celtics) HAD to be the son of character actress Billie Bird. I was wrong. ---

If you look on page 4 or 6 of your copy of _Golden Images_ (you do have a copy, right?) you’ll discover that Winona Ryder bears an uncanny resemblance to silent film legend Clara Bow. Perhaps someday Ryder will play her in a biopic. Of course they could hire Elijah Wood but then they’d have to get Toddy Walters to dub the voice. ---

[total highjack] I _saw_ Elijah today. Completely out of the blue, while I was at work. He’s really short. Winona Ryder, however, was conspicuous in her absence. Very strange. [/total highjack] ---

I’ve always thought that Lee lee Sobieski and Helen Hunt were interchangeable and have just about the same range in acting. (Dull) Movieline magazine does a wonderful job every month with a “twisted gene pool” of hollywood families. Their Mom and Dad to spawn hollywood child is outstanding. ---

Well! Isn’t that odd, as they are the only two famous people to have ever lived in my rather dull little town here in Northern California! Winona Ryder grew up here, and Elijah Wood lived here for a few years when I was in high school. Hm. ---

Know what’s even weirder? Owen Wilson is an actor who actually SOUNDS like Winona Ryder, even though he’s a guy. What does it all mean? (cue Twilight Zone theme) ---

Also Orlando Bloom and Josh Hartnet (Harnet? can never get that kid’s name straight) but they _were_ both in Black Hawk Down. Euty, you killed me. And I didn’t even try anything. ---

Winona Ryder grew up here, and Elijah Wood lived here for a few years when I was in high school. Hm. Uh, were there any other instances you can recall of “the eyes”? And were there any reports of UFO landings around there? 😉 ---
