Asked my 14 yo if she knew the movie “Rocky.” She replied, “Oh, yeah, Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

He wasn’t just a movie star. He truly believed that film making was for everyone. That storytelling shouldn’t be limited to the people that could afford it. His work in creating the Sundance Institute and Film Festival has created ripples that will continue on. RIP, Mr Redford. 💗

Robert Redford, Screen Idol Turned Director and Activist, Dies at 89

When I’m exasperated with my daughter I use her middle name (Louise). That morphed to when I’m exasperated with the dog I call her “Luna Louise!” And now, anyone who gets on my nerves is <first name here> Louise! It’s timeless.
