I just saw her in Beyond the Sea. Thought she did a GREAT job.
Is she related to Brian Bosworth. They look related.

Prior to a recent wedding I attended in New Orleans, the bridesmaids
and family and some friends all assembled at a spa salon, the Retreat,
where they all had their makeup, pedicures, hair and nails done. I
think this is such a nice custom. It is a really great bonding
experience for moms and daughters, and gives everyone involved more
time
to feel special. It was a real party, with mimosas and finger foods,
and helped to quash nerves. I think it helps a bride bridge the gap
and remember how important these people will be for support in years to
come.
I bet crazy Pam Anderson never did any bonding before her three million
weddings lat month. I bet too that Eva will put a lot more emphasis on
the family vs the press.

" So come on over. We have plenty of hotels in Anchorage. <G> Make it
in
the summer though, as our winters are considerably more robust than
Scotland's. July is a good time because four of the five different
types
of salmon are running (silvers wait until August to present their
extremely rigorous and acrobatic selves. Those five types, from 35+
kilos on down to 1.5 kilos are kings (Chinook), chum (dog), silvers
(Coho), reds (?) and pinks. The halibut come shallow in the sea to
make
fish whoopee, the Ling cod are just out of spawning mode, fishing is
great. Usually July is a sort of dry month so one does not drown on
the
river bank. Also, one can see well enough to tie on a fly at 11
PM."--John the Alaska Guy
