Why I decided to do this page...
I decided to do this page in order to not only promote a terrific movie, with some pretty amazing people involved in it, that is getting notice out there on the film festival circuit - as well it should - but to also have a page that deals with the important issues in the lighthearted film. That's one thing I always admire about independent film making these days, they have something to say - so I thought I'd highlight that below and get to the heart of this touching movie with it's humour and insight into something we all face - aging, and doing so gracefully.
P.S. I was honored to have met Tony Shalhoub recently at the William S. Paley Television Festival celebrating his show 'Monk'. I only wish I had had the chance to speak to Brooke who also attended. But, all in all, it was a memorable experience.
YOUR SUPPORT GROUP
All in all - there are several people behind this movie, not just me - who would like to see it's success. May it get the credit it so richly deserves in it's run now in theatres! We all wish for it's success!! Know we're behind you 100%! If you would like to sign your name to a little message saying you'd like to see the movie where you are - please do so here or here!! Let's show our support!

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST - THE MEDIA HYPE
So much of our society is based on image, weither or not we actually realize it. Everytime you turn on the
TV, it's front and centre stage. Youth seems to be the rage, every single movie these days exponents the fact.
But, more and more of society is growing older and older. So what are we to believe? We live in a world
where you are to understand that age breeds wisdom...so why don't we believe it breeds beauty. Below are some fine articles on just that issue and also some good links that show that beauty is a permanent thing,
and that you can grow more beautiful with age.Articles about the Media's Image of Beauty

A BIT ABOUT THE CAST AND CREW
OK, on to something a bit about the movie - something lighter, as this is a comedy after all! The wonderful
cast and crew are well-established and not so established actors who pooled their resources to make a
movie that has already won awards at many film festivals. Though I myself have yet to see it, I look forward
to the day when I will. It sounds like a terrific, witty and heartwarming story. Here are some of the folks that
made it happen:

the person who wrote the screenplay for it and was one of the acting producers of 'Made-Up'. Lynne's
