Betty White (January 17, 1922 – December 31, 2021) To many Americans, she was a national treasure. And over the years, her smile was beguiling. But this woman was an actress, never forget that. Just to see, I looked at … Continue reading

Was He Born This Way or Did Life Make Him?

Marty Life Is Short (2026) I’m not a fan of Martin Short. Some would consider that sacrilege. His SCTV family definitely think he’s the funniest Canadian comedian ever. Over-the-top, I would say. But what about the man, under those masks? … Continue reading
