    I'm looking forward to this movie. I live a couple of hours from Hyde, and really enjoy visiting there.

    Murray in dramatic brilliance: Lost in Translation, The Lost City.

    Really looking forward to this one. He is one of the best actors working.

    That voice is probably once-in-a-millennium. And perfectly burnished with breeding, self-knowledge, smoke, and gin.

    I visited Hyde Park in August. You'd be absolutely amazed at how small that place really is. Amazed they fit so many kids and folks (including his Mom) in there for so long. The thing that impressed me most was the group of photo's on the Grand Piano. Arranged in loving care were photo's of all the Royals and displaced Royals and personages that had visited the Roosevelts there when Europe was in darkness. It was very moving to me.

    Did you see the 1939 RCA TV in the study, with the mirror reflector Screen? My favorite room was the library. I could get very comfortable in that library of a snowy evening, with the fire blazing and a cognac in my hand.

    Yes we all noted the early TV. I was more enamoured of all the fine wood in the study, library and dining room. Yea, nice digs. The nearby Vanderbilt mansion though... Wow! That was a mansion! Velvet covered handrails and all!
