Sexy and sultry.
One of my favorite songs.
Mom:
Astrud Gilberto,
"The Girl from Ipanema."
Dad:
João Gilberto, pioneer of bossa nova.
Until researching this now,
I didn't know her mother had sung the song in 1966.
Brazilian jazz. Yes!

Her family used to see who could out-quip eachother at dinner.
His father was a super major star.
This conversation goes by fast, as they discuss making the movie.
Including how the faked orgasm happened.
Hilarious.

I loved this conversation with Nora Ephron and Rob Reiner on how "When Harry Met Sally" got made. I had no idea that the Billy Crystal character so closely tracked who Reiner was at that point. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5-j...

So, to those who say "masks don't work", cite the flawed Cochrane report, insist upon an unfeasible RCT, accuse folks of panic, and undermine public health on social and mainstream media during a flu/RSV epidemic...
