She Wonders How Many Letters Like This They'll Get


she is wagging her lovely finger! and possibly some other assets

Last Sunday's New York Times Magazine featured Anne Heche as current leading lady, experiencing an upswing. The lovely Heche (post-Celestia for those who remember the Shakespearan Ellen-Break-up) is now starring in a new movie and HBO series Hung.

A co-creator of Hung, Colette Burson commented on how remarkable--miraculous, really --it was to secure Heche for the role on Hung.

Burson: "We auditioned a lot of people. It is incredibly difficult to find beautiful, talented, funny women over 35."

It's okay to gasp here.

Dear Colette:

The post-35 terrain? It is rugged, indeed.



Holly Hunter.



Toni Morrison




Valerie Jarett
beautiful, funny, smart AND on the cover



Arianna Huffington



poet Joan Larkin






Michelle Pfieffer







poet Joyce Sutphen





you know who



Of course the list goes on and on and on and on. The Matron could be lifting photos all night.

The most astounding thing? By the Matron's calculations, Colette Burson is herself the god-awful-eye-stopping-brain-numbing-fear-mongering age of 39.

Yes indeed. Tough to find beautiful, talented and funny. The Matron wonders what dear Colette sees when she looks in the mirror.

Maybe that's why she --Colette--forgot to include smart in that equation.
