One of the first times I fell madly in love with Shirley MacLaine, followed closely by Some Came Running…Nothing beats the ending of The Apartment though! Great sentiment mate! Happy New Year!
She is Wonderful. And Some Came Running…oh well don’t get me started. Love her in that one too.

Happy New Year, Lanier!
Right back atcha, my good sir.
Happy New Year! I wish you the best in 2013.
Happy New Year, Lanier!! I hope this coming year is as beautiful as you.
By the way — I still think you should write that screenplay. I just have a feeling about it. You’d need to purchase Final Draft. It makes it quite easy. I might be able to get it into the right hands – not sure. Think about it.
Best wishes
