happy birthday to GOD. (can i say that?) he's old but still spirited and, for 82, VERY VERY attractive. not that his attractiveness now (or anything) can compare to his attractiveness in the '50s, '60s, and '70s. OH DEAR CHRIST. oh, and has it been mentioned he is a brilliant actor? the long, hot summer. cat on a hot tin roof. the young philadelphians. the hustler. sweet bird of youth. hud. harper. cool hand luke. butch cassidy and the sundance kid. the sting. slap shot. absence of malice. the verdict. the color of money (no, he didn't deserve the oscar, but it's hardly an embarassing performance to say the least anyway). nobody's fool. road to perdition. ugh. i love him.
