Yep, I mentioned David Copperfield - a wonderful performance! I loved her in 
that and I've watched it more than once. Of course, it helps that Daniel is 
adorable in it too ;-) I especially love their scenes together, but I hope she 
never reminded him that she bathed him in that movie, lol!

Now, that bit about his dad being in a movie with Maggie Smith is really 
freaky ;-) I knew his dad and mom were actors a long time ago, but they never 
pursued it much and got into other careers.   I wonder if Dame Maggie even 
remembers Alan from that movie. <g>
