Must read

Today, I received in the mail my very own hard-cover copy of 84 Charing Cross Road - which I promptly sat down and read. This is an edition that has an introduction by Anne Bancroft. She relates the story of how she happened to play the part.

She was sitting on the beach at Fire Island, and a total stranger stopped and told he'd just read something that would be a perfect part for her. She was at the same place the next day, and the same person handed her the book. Of course, she was enchanted with it. Later, her husband (Mel Brooks) with some of his Hollywood friends acquired the movie rights and gave it to her as a surprise Christmas present.

Isn't that a great story!

Now I need to drag out the DVD and watch the movie again.
