Other than being old British ladies, what is the obvious connection?

Both are Dames (in the Biritish sense, obviously)

Maggie Smith and Judi Dench would be a more obvious since they're both good old friends and their careers are really quite parallel. At least it makes me think it would be an obvious choice.

Scorsese dyes his eyebrows, yes?

I was asking this same question on IM last night. No one would answer me. I say yes, and I think that's just freaky.

So what I really want to know is how these Academy Awards were made "carbon neutral" or whatever the buzzword was. Did the stars carpool in electric vehicles? Did they all come in through the closed redline station? Were those spotlights all compact fluorescents? Ot did they just plant a bunch of trees somewhere?

Thinking of the pageantry, the closed metro station and streets, all that Tule - how did they pull it off, or even calculate it. I find the claim hard to swallow as much as I may support the cause.

I loved Ordinary People, too. I was/am that kid. And Mary Tyler Moore's character is my mom. Love love that film. 1st time as director for Robert Redford, I believe.

For those interested - NPR did a piece on West Bank Story

I'm really curious about Infernal Affairs now. I think I need to Netflix it.

I remember having a conversation with someone about this subject recently. Apparently, eyebrows don't always go grey when the rest of the hair does.

I found this little tidbit:

Quote:

A recent study demonstrated that people 50-70 years of age with dark eyebrows but grey hair are significantly more likely to have type II diabetes than those with both grey eyebrows and grey hair.
