Hi Marg: You have been captivating me as an actress since China Beach. As a soldier in Nam, your portrayal of wayward women trying to earn a buck was perfect, you and mc-Murphy where perfect counterbalance to each other. May I say age has not caught up to you yet, almost 50 and still very beautiful. Hunter
