I loooooooooved that version! _Oliver Reed_ (No, no, **Indyellen** , I was reading that as though you were offering to _portray_ my crazy offspring – that was at least a third of the WTF moment, trying to imagine the exact scenario we were going to act out. I suspected it involved me in some kind of Bette-Davis-Joan-Crawford role c. 1963, it was … not a good place to go.) ---
