Could I possibly be ...? Wait ... whatttt? I wanted to embrace my auspicious day with grace and gratitude. I wanted to be calm, cool, and collected on The Big Day. Meditation every morning surely helped. As a Stroke Survivor, I treasure every single thing. I even appreciate sitting upright in my desk chair and typing this to you, because there was a time when that would be impossible. And I'll never forget it. A stroke underscores the absolute preciousness and precariousness of life. And whilst I was recovering, I never, ever imagined I would hit this birthday. Ever. Okay. Say it, Bonni. And say it proudly: I am 70 years old. Many thanks for all of the phone calls, texts, messages on Facebook and Instagram, friends. I am ever grateful for it all. Love, ...
I have a collection of personal letters sent to me from Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, Helen Hayes, Jacqueline Kennedy, Jimmy Stewart, Isaac Asimov, Mister Rogers, Liz Taylor, and more. Some are framed, others are in a notebook. I'm excited to share these wonderful birthday wishes from some of Hollywood's icons.
