Thanks for the info. It really took me down from my fluffy clouds. Right now I realize how small amount of money I am living on.

Pity she's not the world's best actress then. I'd never go to a movie just because she is in it.

Anyway, once AI really gets started, human actors are doomed. The most they can hope for is a voice dub.
