“I never understood the idea that you’re supposed to mellow as you get older. Slowing down isn’t something I relate to at all. — I’ve done all kinds of things I said I wouldn’t do and, of course, now I’m glad. Thrilled.”

R.I.P. Diane Keaton, what a legend. 🕊️💫

Robert Redford set out, 53 years ago, to alert America to the disruption of elections by big money, self-dealing interest groups, media-driven campaigns and contenders who sacrificed values for style. With “The Candidate,” he anticipated almost everything that has corrupted contemporary politics.

We lost one of the greats. Graham Greene was not only an actor but a trail blazer. He opened doors for so many of us Natives. I'm proud to say that the very first pilot I ever acted in was with Graham Greene. The pilot was never picked up but I get to say that I got to work with one of the greats.
