  7. #RIP #LouisGossettJr whose fan I became because of a movie he didn't get an award for: Enemy Mine. It's a sci-fi flick about how alien species who started out enemies managed to come together for common cause. Now is a good time to watch it.
  8. I had the very great pleasure of interviewing Louis Gossett, Jr. He told me about his early acting roles and about being in acting class with Marilyn Monroe (he said she smelled like Lifebuoy soap!). Rest in power, Mr. G. moviemom.com/interview-oscar-w #LouisgossettJr
