I felt a real pang of loss; PSH's acting moved me deeply. I was glad to read Prudie's observations about callousness in her response to to the letter writer. I liked it that the person wrote in, that the situation was in an office rather than a marriage, and that the writer seemed open to learning whether there was something "off" about his/her response...
I thank my lucky stars I never became addicted to anything other than nicotine. I don't understand the "first choice" or threshold moment, when a person chooses to play with fire with drugs so addicting. But likewise, I don't understand how it feels to walk in his shoes --- his sensitivity literally poured off the screen at times, and I can't imagine how celebrity was for him.
Enough pressure can warp granite.
Thanks, Bones.
