I just looked up Stephen Colbert’s age and he’ll be 51 years old in 10 minutes! 🙂 I agree about Julia Louis-Dreyfuss. I am mesmerized by her on \*Veep \*and I am a very straight woman. I just love to look at her! My folks have been watching a lot of \*Seinfeld \*reruns lately and when I see her I’m like “Oh boy, you still have a lot of growing to do girl!” ---
