Put on your thinking caps! It's question and answer time.

Hi PJ,

 

From what I've gleaned from the internet it's "The First Wives Club"

 

Goldie Hawn 1

Diane Keaton 1

Marcia Gay Harden 1

Eileen Heckart 1

Maggie Smith 2

 

For a total of 6!

 

I may be wrong, and you understand none of them won anything for the movie itself, but that's allot of talented actresses who were in it.

Hi sara,

 

I was channel surfing a couple of years ago, and I came across this strange movie, "The Women". It was made way before my time, 1939. What caught my attention was that there were no men in it. It had many big stars from the 'Golden Age' of movies. Among them were: Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, Rosalind Russel, and Joan Fontain. I can't remember the rest.

 

So, you win the the pretend award, because you named 6 and I only named 4.

 

If you have anymore good questions, fire away.

Pj -

Rene Descartes is the father of modern philosophy, the first to make a serious attempt to defeat skepticism. His views about knowledge and certainty as well as his views about the relationship between the mind and the body have been very influential over the last 3 centuries.

 

John Locke was a !7th century English Philosopher, & political theorist. He was one of the first empiricists, & popularised the notion of a "tabula Rasa".

 

Pj. I've been to Tahiti, Papeete, Moorea & Huahine. French Polynesia is very expensive. The Cook Islands are cheaper.The mutiny on the Bounty actually occured off one of the islands of Tonga. Samoa is very beautiful.
