Been on Stage32 for awhile. Since we're "in production" on our documentary film on TEXAS GUINAN, I have not been as active here. But it's a wonderful site. It's just hard to type when you have your fingers crossed. (big smile)

Congratulations on production. Maybe RB can install a voice activated AP for when folks fingers are tied.
Thanks, Debbie. The hashtag #womeninfilm is gaining traction on Twitter, by the way! Let me know if you're on Twitter & i"ll follow you.
Texas Guinan's motto: "Exaggerate the world." I walk past her home every day, imagining I hear "The Charleston." To know La Guinan better -- http://TexasGuinan.blogspot.com :-D

Hi LindaAnn thanks for the twitter invite, but I closed the account, virtually after I started it. People kept sending me inane one liners about nothing. BUT my web domain is out sometime this year, so will send you the link. Like yourself I haven't been active on this site for a while, due to travel. (Hit and miss wi fi Middle East and Sierra Nevada also when tried to buy sim I didn't have passport on me.) Like you I also missed logging on, as soon as I got connection I rushed on to read CJs end of the month report, and was disappointed not there......then my new partner whispered "It's not the end of the month honey, it's only 20th." LOL. JUST LOVE TEXAN GALS MOTTO......"EXAGGERATE THE WORLD." I must learn more about this Enigma.

@Owen LOL, great minds think alike. In the end I just pressed the termination switch. Not forgetting "the lock account" button with the padlock sign to prevent beady eyes satisfying their curiosity.
Sorry to hear about boredom on TWITTER. Whenever I want the NY Times to mention my work, tweeting does the magic. (I did drop out of Facebook; I was too popular & FB became a burden.) Nice to hear from everyone.
Debbie, Texas Guinan was a film pioneer from 1917-1922, making 50 Westerns, always playing the HEROINE, doing her own stunts. From 1922-1933, she earned $800,000/ yr in night clubs, a term she coined. http://texasguinan.blogspot.com/2016/03/texas-guinan-1819-broadway.html

Hi Linda thanks for the link. I realised a very strong woman, but didn't realise people could "command" fees in those days. (Thought they at mercy of studios). I need to learn more about this Lady.
Hi LindaAnn. Congrats on your first and best to you on the second. Is anything posted online where we can view the projects? I'd like to see what you've done and are doing.
Hi, Jackie. My 1st Texas G. documentary (90 mins) was made for European TV. At the very same time, my play "Courting Mae West" was onstage (Algonquin Theatre, NYC) & my focus was on my theatre project, promoting it, etc. - which led to an Australian booking. When my play "Diamond Lil" was onstage (West 46th St., for 14 weeks in 2013), we did promote that project with tie-in events. "Trolls" made me cautious about what to post online -- though I always publicize my projects in my own city (New York, NY). Until the official web site is up, you can read about the incomparable Texas Guinan on my blog: http://TexasGuinan.blogspot.com and when we start winning awards. we'll be finding steeple bells to ring throughout the land. (big smiles)
@ Debbie - Texas Guinan, who loved bling, wore bracelets set w/ 587 diamonds each. When she entered a courtroom, reporters noted her long pearls, etc. CLANGED. She began her own film production company in 1921. I've learned a lot from her courage & moxie!
