Among Laura Wasser’s singular gifts is her talent for spinning a tale. One of Hollywood’s premier divorce lawyers, she has cataloged her clients’ foibles, anxieties and misapprehensions in a book and on her social media platforms. There was the wife of a Hollywood producer who imagined that she would still be entitled, post-split, to fly on the movie studio’s private jet. Not a chance, Wasser told her crisply. “You are no longer Mrs. Producer.”
I m sure you ve heard terms like child of the 80 s or 90 s kid before - I even used it in the title of this article - but what does that really mean? Does that mean you were born in that decade, or maybe you grew up in that decade? I m not 100% sure, but I am sure that I consider myself a 90 s kid. See, I was born in 1975, so I m definitely a child of the 80 s, but some of my most important years and some of my life s biggest moments happened in the 90s. I may not have been a kid, but I sure do love the 1990s - and the young actors and actresses from that decade will always hold a special place in my heart.
Joyce Haines is pictured during a recent Fredonia Shakespeare Club meeting.
Fourteen members of the Fredonia Shakespeare Club attended the 15th virtual meeting of the club’s 2020-21 year.
Before presenting her paper on Nora Ephron, Joyce Haines, accompanied by Judi Lutz Woods, enacted the iconic “Vitameatavegamin” skit, immortalized by Lucille Ball. In this skit, Lucy gets a job in a TV commercial. She rehearses, tasting spoonful after spoonful of “Vitameatavegamin.” Unknown to Lucy (and Joyce Haines), the product contains a massive amount of alcohol. As the comical outcome ensued, club members applauded Haines and Lutz Woods for their rendition.
