Sounds like she couldn't really write another sequel but didn't want to pass up on cashing in the BJ notoriety. But then I could just be cynical today :)JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-59424608673559150332013-10-16T20:22:37.133-04:002013-10-16T20:22:37.133-04:00Thanks Jenny!

I hadn't seen that - I suppose her life was bittersweet, in that she died so relatively young; but the romantic in me is glad that she found love and marriage with someone who could see past race - and at such a time too! If this had been pure fiction, it had been hard to believe, wouldn't it?<br /><br />LarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-38655439018672513462013-10-16T08:52:36.438-04:002013-10-16T08:52:36.438-04:00Hello Lark!

The story it is based on sounds like it had to be told. I am glad someone has done it so beautifully. Can't wait!! <br />Unfortunately this is not being released in North America until May 2014. I wish I could have seen it at TIFF. When I retire, I plan to spend 10 days in Toronto every Sept seeing films!<br />Here is the link for the Wiki article on Dido and the painting of the two girls, Dido and Elizabeth:<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dido_Elizabeth_BelleJenny Allworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518779478842699970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-20303055111468576782013-10-15T20:45:53.621-04:002013-10-15T20:45:53.621-04:00I am - as usual:) - off topic, but I just watched ...I am - as usual:) - off topic, but I just watched this trailer for Belle and wanted to share it:<br /><br />http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=39056<br /><br />I think it looks amazing!<br /><br />LRK, or LarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
