July 1995: "She Ain't Heavy"

"I have always had a secret crush on Bill, because I read that he gave up teaching to become a movie star. I like anyone who abandons selfless, underpaid work for a life of shallow glamour; my folk hero is a man I once heard about who signed up for the Peace Corps but changed his mind at the airport—I like to think that today he's go-go dancing somewhere."

November 1992: "School for Scandal"

Although this column falls within the five-year period covered by Libby's 1994 book, If You Ask Me, it didn't make the cut. Too scandalous, maybe?

"Bridget stars in the recent thriller Single White Female; my dear friend Stacy Schiff says they stole the title from her tombstone. Bridget costars with Jennifer Jason Leigh; both girls look about 21, so Woody would probably consider this a Jessica Tandy film."
