I loved the scene where Katherine Johnson, played by Taraji P. Henson, knows more than any of the men in the room about orbiting in space. <br />And Rabbit-Proof Fence is a stunning film about very courageous young women. I read an article about the girls from the viewpoint of one of their daughters, probably Molly's. She wrote a memoir which the film is based on, I think.<br />Never saw Nun's Story, although I do like Audrey Hepburn. Didn't see any Alien movie, not a fan of the genre. I'd like to see The Heiress sometime.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-42777922968692319292020-06-04T01:11:53.863-07:002020-06-04T01:11:53.863-07:00You're welcome!You're welcome!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-43870006776689091952020-06-03T22:36:34.688-07:002020-06-03T22:36:34.688-07:00The Nun's story and the Australian aboriginal ...The Nun's story and the Australian aboriginal story are the two I would really like to read / or watch.
