Holly how coo...Thanks all for the support as ever!<br /><br />Holly how cool! Though I don't know Darley all that well to be honest, I met him once. My agent at the agency is Julia Churchill, do you know of her too?<br /><br />Marjorie, I loved being cast as a dumb blond and wish it would happen more often to be honest. It was just that it was a huge turning point in my life because up until then I had never been the funny character on stage, usually the subtly wry one. And yay Donald O'Connor! I have always adored him! And the "Make 'Em Laugh" routine is just fantastic.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607530400279311428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16924800.post-61336392851734699272007-01-21T12:33:00.000-05:002007-01-21T12:33:00.000-05:00Hi, Adrienne!
Don't worry. As you've already seen...Hi, Adrienne!<br /><br />Don't worry. As you've already seen, comedians are a mentally unstable bunch, probably precisely because they're expected to be "on" all the time. I have this image of Robin Williams as being extremely difficult to live with, what with his manic humor and energy, but then I hear about his problems with drug and alcohol abuse, and I wonder about the pressure that kind of image does to your psyche. <br /><br />Oops. Here I go trying to console you, and I end up musing about drug abuse and mental health. Sorry!<br /><br /><i>Anyway.</i><br /><br />As for being cast as a dumb blonde despite your reputation for embracing the intellect, I've always found that playing dumb is one of the hardest things to do and requires not only good timing but also keen intelligence and self-awareness. One of my best friends and I once thought about making T-shirts with this slogan printed on the front: "It takes a certain amount of intelligence to be this dumb." And then it would have a picture of Bob Denver as Gilligan on the back. (Don't ask.)<br /><br />Love love love the picture of Donald O'Connor!!!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />MarjorieMarjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11100390503594226225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16924800.post-32385506074558276302007-01-20T23:27:00.000-05:002007-01-20T23:27:00.000-05:00So cool...

Small world, and all that great stuff.<br /><br />I THOUGHT Liza had mentioned Darley's name and when I searched Publishers Marketplace, I found a deal they'd co-agented in 2004 (pasted below). <br /><br />29 July, 2004 <br />Rebecca Shaw's first three novels in the Barleybridge series, about the dramas of life in a veterinary practice set in an British country village, to Rachel Kahan at Crown for Three Rivers Press, by Liza Dawson at Liza Dawson Associates, co-agent with Darley Anderson.Holly Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02336717023482533615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16924800.post-5616242457625908852007-01-20T10:53:00.000-05:002007-01-20T10:53:00.000-05:00Go get 'em!

It really *is* a lot of pressure to be funny/stay funny. But just keep looking at life in that skewed way and you'll be fine. :)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog!<br /><br />LisaLisa McMannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03079642578284968215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16924800.post-40995833061261777682007-01-20T04:13:00.000-05:002007-01-20T04:13:00.000-05:00It's all about expectations.
