A star is linked

Not a whole lot to talk about this month. Cynthia Nixon was robbed, the novel rewrite is going great, and things between me and Virginia are swell. The Neil Simon Blogathon is in a couple of weeks; there's still time to join Paddy and myself for the occasion, if you want in.

Le writes about a very early Ernst Lubitsch silent film which challenges gender roles.

Finally, best wishes to Crystal of In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood, who's recovering from surgery.
