Richard Armitage tangentially related
Romeo & Juliet:
Ocean’s 8:
- The significance of Rihanna’s hairstyle.
- Somewhat surprisingly (I thought), writer Olivia Milch is interviewed about the film on Marketplace. Kudos to the marketer; that was a really abstruse connection. Here’s a transcript. And a transcript of the program on the history of female heists.
- Warner Bros. head of casting is leaving the studio. No reason stated, but it doesn’t seem to be because she messed it up.
Collateral attractions / degrees of separation:
- According to her partner, Marcus, Sarah Dunn is having physical, speech, and vision therapy, funded by donations from friends and followers of her career. We can still donate to aid in her care at that site. (I’m just mentioning this in case you’ve been wavering but havent donated; my June charity money is already gone, split between LOROS and CARA Pro Bono Project. If you have charity money burning a hole in your pocket, I recommend the latter — it supplies attorneys and support to families in immigration detention in the U.S.; a former student of mine works for them.)
- Funds donated for Mrs. Armitage’s memorial top £8,300 UK.
