Love your movies Frances - but still not seen them all yet. Read about your life story. You really had gusto in a time when it was not acceptable to have it. NOT YOUR FAULT. You were treated horrible dear Frances. I hope Heaven is giving you all the love and glory you somehow missed out on on planet earth.
