Exactly a week ago I posted something in this group about the National
Enquirer's plans to run a story about Julia Roberts giving
101-year-old Ann Prichard a ride in her private plane from Glen Ellyn,
Illinois to Los Angeles. Julia reunited Ann with two contemporaries
she's known for ninety years. A 74-year-old TV producer named David
Yarnell videotaped Julia interviewing the three women about historical
changes they've seen. They included September 11.

Two days ago the December 11 issue of the Enquirer reached grocery
stores, but the Roberts-Prichard story isn't in it.

Later that day (December 3) I spoke by phone with Enquirer editor Reg
Fitz. He says it got overshadowed by other stories even before George
Harrison died. He says they may or may not run it. If they do, it
will either be in issues dated December 25, January First or sometime
in March or April 2002.

Mr. Fitz explained the Roberts-Prichard story won't become dated if
they sit on it for a few weeks or even until March or April, when the
documentary will air either on the Arts & Entertainment Channel or
PBS.

If you doubt what I've said, I'll be happy to mail you a photocopy of
the check that Mr. Fitz says I will get from American Media by the
first week in January. American Media is the company that has owned,
since September of 1999, the Enquirer, Star, Globe and National
Examiner. Those rags haven't competed with each other at all since
September 1999. They're under the same umbrella.

Please don't send me a private E-mail. A lonely person replied to my
week-old post with obsessive questions about my private life. I will
delete all E-mails without reading them.

Another way you can verify the Roberts-Prichard story is by sending a
hard copy fax inquiry to David Yarnell (see first paragraph): 310 -
203 - 4754. He's married to a powerful actors' agent for ICM. He's
too old for E-mail. Mr. Yarnell is busy now with Julia doing
post-production narration for the documentary. Understandably, Ann
Prichard (born in 1900) had to return from Los Angeles to her Glen
Ellyn, Illinois home around the time Julia did the Paul Newman
Broadway salute to Ernest Hemingway's Nick Adams character. That was
November 19, the night before Julia chided David Letterman on-air for
his refusal to party with her. She didn't mention on that program the
Ann Prichard experience she had had the week prior. Did she bring it
up on the Today Show?

BTW I was asking questions that I already *knew* the answers to.....
It's sure a GOOD thing you can prove that your uninteresting and boring
story is true.
Why, I bet if you had not have told everyone NOT to email you, You would
have ....why....ONE or TWO at the most messages to reply to! Think of the
overloaded server!
Thanks for the laugh!

What other things do paid PR-agents-to-the-"stars" do?

You really earned your money on this one. I'm sure Horseface will put a
little extra-something in your pay envelope this month.

If you think anything to do with a 101-year-old person is boring, then
your mind will tell your body to live a short life.

That would have been too many.

More like the overloaded privacy.

You can get same from marijuana. People who start laughing while
stoned on pot have no right to waste the time of Narcotics Anonymous
members or a psychotherapist. They should enjoy the laughter. Why
did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. Haw haw!
The forests will echo with laughter.

They divert attention from derogatory stories dug up by obsessive
people like you who have never met the actors.

She's not on the payroll of the National Enquirer. If you live to
regret things you've posted on Usenet, you'll have to wait until
you're Ann Prichard's age.

I know this was years ago, but Ann Prichard was my great-grandmother. I was just curious if I could find anything on the documentary on google and came across this. As her family, we are all very upset that this was never aired. Apparently, they wouldn't even give a copy to one of her son's when he requested one. This would be such an awesome thing for us to have, especially us great-grand children, who now have our children who never had the chance to meet Gram herself. If you happen to actually read this, so many years later, and you have any information about the documentary, please let me know.
Thank you for your time.
