In the midst of all the excitement over all things Linda, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Hollywood and England have lost a great actor in Albert Finney, whose roles included Oscar-nominated turns in 1963's TOM JONES and 2000's ERIN BROCKOVICH (the latter with Julia Roberts in the title role). Finney passed away this past Thursday in London of cancer at the age of 82:

"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt

Everyone clapped when he said "Welcome to Scotland."

Thank You Very Very Much Albert Finney
