I was put under contract. A major studio. I got nominated for an Academy Award. Isn't that ridiculous? I mean, at the age of 18! Angela Lansbury academyageaward Change image and share on social
My parents were really, really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug.

War is murder. And the military preparations now being made for a potential major confrontation are aimed at collective murder. In a nuclear age the victims would be numbered by the millions. This naked truth must be faced. Alva Myrdal ageaimcollective share on social
I had a mother I could only seem to please with verbal accomplishments of some sort or another. She read constantly, so I read constantly. If I used words that might have seemed surprising at a young age, she would recognize that and it would please her. Amy Hempel accomplishmentageconstantly share on social
