"It's less important who you love than THAT you love."

[TahitiNut]

Here's a Lover ... one of the most stunningly awesome human beings to ever grace the "silver screen" ... whose compassion, intelligence, courage, and commitment show a beauty that dwarfs her physical beauty. Every time I hear her speak on these subjects, I'm gobstruck by how enormously conscience-driven she is.

1. Just saw her recently on the genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are

on Hulu. She's an interesting woman.

2. She's no simpleton, that's for sure.

She's from an "interesting" family ... of a genre I'm no fan of. Whenever I see or hear her, whether it's in a movie or talk show or even a commercial, there's something DEEPLY AUTHENTIC about her that really stuns me.

3. I love seeing an extremely intelligent, drop dead beautiful person...

Our society tends to celebrate just one part of that equation... I think both deserve attention.

8. She is an amazing woman.

Thanks for posting the link. I saw that she was on Hardball, but didn't get a chance to stop and watch at the time.

9. She's an amazing human being.

I tend to avoid the "woman" (or "man") reference since it might connote some limit to that class of human being ... as somehow lesser? Her strengths and qualities are independent of her gender and dwarf those which I'd consider gender-related (e.g. she's sexy as hell).

She slam dunks the "character" attribute, with her exemplary service to humanity. I wish we'd be treated to far MORE media coverage of her and others so-inclined instead of the parade of sideshow freaks like Palin and Trump.
