Ralph's Preserver revealed

[Felicia Rickmann]

Catching up on my post's after mad dashing around London, I now have the explanation behind the quote. Some of the nicest actors are, I think, quite *out of it* sometimes.  What you thought of as a perfect specimen of the thespian fraternity is, actually, two cents short of a dollar, is the size of a pint of milk, or has terrible teeth (but don't start me on Alan Rickman...) %-)

What a heroine!  Just think, we could be without one of our most promising nominees in the Remus!Sirius race.  However, I must draw the line at Colin Firth being beefy (more pork chop-y) after seeing him in Pride and Prejudice.  Beefy is more Sean Bean (LOTR I think....) now how about him for Sirius Black heh heh!

  I know I shouldn't have, but it was too good a line not to toss in!  It is 
  true, however.  My friend Irma (yes, I'm serious) works in the neighborhood 
  in which "The Chambermaid" (starring RF and J-Lo) is being shot.  She stood 
  next to Ralph, also waiting to cross Park Avenue.  He looked in the wrong 
  direction for oncoming traffic and walked out in front of a truck.  She 
  yanked him back.  I'd (and she'd) like to say he fell in love at first sight, 
  but all she got out of it was a mumbled "thank you."
    Ba is short for Barbara (turns up in English novels of the '40s and '50s 
  occasionally). I rarely use it but, on the HP Book List, I used Barbara.  
  Suddenly, there were four other Barbaras.  Ditto for Barb.  I refuse to 
  retreat to a single, lonely letter...
    Now, to render this post relevant...Much as I'd love to see Colin Firth in 
  just about any part whatever, I think he's generally a bit too beefy for 
  either Sirius or Lupin.
