One person who said, "At 40, you have the face you deserve," was Ingrid Bergman. My mother used to tell me this. Thanks mom! I was well past 40 when I began to understand what Bergman meant.
Fascinating. I feel so much smarter after listening to a Fishko File. The expert summed up my experience on first hearing T.S.Eliot reading- Having 'gotten' very few poets, and Eliot having been my all time favorite, I wasn't able to admit even to myself that his voice sounded 'pinched and pretentious'.
Really interesting commentary as well as the excerpts themselves.
