Just wondering

Very good.

On second thought, maybe it should read "How CONVINCING is.."

Alright then, very convincing.

Aileen Wuornos was really sexy.
Ed   Wednesday, April 20, 2005, 18:43 GMT
Yes, very convincing. And now that she's dyed her hair black, she looks even better.

you're a fan aren't you Ed :)
andre in south africa   Wednesday, April 20, 2005, 18:50 GMT
Tiffany, you know what I mean (blushing) :)
Ed   Wednesday, April 20, 2005, 18:52 GMT
Hmm, not really, Andre. I know she's an excellent actress and very beautiful, too, but she seems cold and unfriednly.

As I said, Aileen Wuornos was really sexy, she had a sexy surname.

Funny thing, Ed. We are very proud of her for what she's achieved, but I have the same impression of her. Only ever seen about two of her movies myself. But still, I do admire her for what she made of herself, knowing her history :)

Allthough when she visited SA last year she came across a lot warmer than usual
Tiffany   Wednesday, April 20, 2005, 18:59 GMT
:) Yes Andre! Funny guys, she doesn't give me that impression at all.

Perhaps not cold perhaps reserved very private (understandable given her past) as I say when she was her last year she came across the first time (for me) as a warm person (also on Oscar night), but until that I certainly had the same impression of her as Ed

I heard she she grew up on a farm.
andre in south africa   Wednesday, April 20, 2005, 19:19 GMT
Not really Ed, she grew up on what we call a smallholding. That's like a VERY SMALL farm. People who live on a smallholding usually have a few chicken, perhaps a small maize field, but have some other job to keep it going. But it is not a farm, because you cannot make a living out of it. Her father was an alcoholic and made a habit out of hitting both her mother and her when he was drunk. Finally her mother shot him when he was drunk. She was found not guilty in court, as it was clearly out of self defence. Her father's family recently tried to cash in on her fame, but with little success
