Message 872

Yesterday I did some more work on my Memoirs. Mimi and I went to Sizzler for dinner. In the evening we watched the PBS Nova show about the rescue of the miners in Chile. After that we watched A DVD of the movie My One and Only, which was the title of the most successful song written by George Hamilton's father, who was a band leader. In fact the whole movie is the story of George Hamilton's teen years. His mother was played by Renee Zellwager, and she is always good. I have always been rather contemptuous of George Hamilton, but I did not know much about him. The movie is much better than I expected. I give it 3 stars.

Last night Charlie Rose interviewed Noomi Rapace, the Swedish actress who played the girl with the dragon tattoo in all three movies. I think now I will order the three Stieg Larsson books for my Kindle. I saw the original movie in the theater, and I liked it, but I have not yet seen the other two.
