Happy birthday Jill Clayburgh!!!!

I can truly say that she is my inspiration. To such an extent that it's embarrassing, actually.

Here she is being a model mother:

Here she is in my favorite movie of all time, getting over one man by falling in love with another who is not good enough for her.

Do you think Erica stayed with Alan Bates after he went to Vermont? I never

I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can

[kilsyth]

is one of the more depressing movies I've ever seen but I really liked her in it. My guilty pleasure Jill Clayburgh favorite is Starting Over. Burt Reynolds, Candice Bergen AND JC (not to mention Frances Sternhagen) I'm such a movie nerd... WOOF!

Ain't NOTHING guilty about the many pleasures to be taken from STARTING OVER. I adore that movie and have been meaning to watch it again for months. Actually, tonight would be an ideal time for an UNMARRIED WOMAN/STARTING OVER double feature.

I love her in I'M DANCING AS FAST AS I CAN. That is a truly ballsy performance. I was sort of disappointed with the movie when I first saw it--but it's another one that is probably ripe for a re-watch.

You tell Patty you're sorry.

I ask myself that every week. Where did she go AND where did she come from? For like a minute in 1978 she was in quite a few sophisticated women movies and then nobody ever heard from her again.
