Happy Birthday to
Barbara Harris
75 today
As well as being a strong film actress with a back caalogue including Hitchcok's Family Plot and Robert Altman's Nashville Barbara has been wowing them on the stage in Broadway musicals and more impressively improvisational theatre (with The Compass Players) since the mid 60's. Now more or less retired she can relax knowing that her contributions will be felt in the industry for a long time.

Wow, I adored her in "Nashville", where she carried the final sequence, one of my all-time favorite scenes in one of my top-five favorite movies.
For something different and fun, try to catch her in 1965's "A Thousand Clowns" with Jason Robards.
Nashville is one of those truly perfect films - so much going on but so little plot and all the performances are slight and believeable.
I've not seen A Thousand Clowns so thanks for the recommendation.
