    Seen Any Good Films Lately?

    I saw "Nothing like a Dame" a few days ago. A documentary film (which was released in the German cinemas in April) full of DL-material! It's about the four British A-level theatre and movie actresses Dame Joan Plowright (*28.10.1929), Dame Eileen Atkins (*16.06.1934), Dame Judi Dench (*09.12.1934) and Dame Maggie Smith (*28.12.1934). Everyone seemed to be sharp and fit, except for a few small ailments. If I should rank them, in which order they die, I'd say... 1. Joan 2. Maggie 3. Judi 4. Eileen
