Somewhere In Time Part 3

Welcome again, as we continue our trip through Somewhere In Time - the Movie starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.  If you've missed Part I or Part II you can see them here.

Jeannot Szwarc ran into a small problem directing both Christopher Reeve and Christopher Plummer in the same scene. When he said, "Chris," both men replied, "Yes?"  He said that this would never do, so he consulted with producer...
Stephen Deutsch, and together they decided that from now on, Christopher Plummer would be known as "Mr. Plummer", and Christopher Reeve would be known as "Bigfoot".

On May 27th, 1995, Christopher Reeve, known throughout the world for his role as Superman, was paralyzed from the neck down in a riding accident.

Sadly, Chris died but, what emerges through this film is a portrait of an intelligent, determined, candid and outspoken man who was able to maintain his sense of humour in the face of adversity. His inspiring personality will shine through as you follow his unpredictable, emotional journey. Contains two stirring documentaries, Hope in Motion and Choosing Hope, filmed over a 2 year period by Christopher Reeve’s son Matthew. Features candid interviews with Christopher Reeve, his doctors and footage of his rehabilitation. Special Features include a candid interview with Christopher about his injury: an interview Jim MacLaren, Jesse Billauer and Brooke Ellison about living with spinal cord injuries; a featurette about the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center. A portion of the profits will benefit the Christopher Reeve Foundation.  

******************

   Home decoration is an important form of self-expression. Colors, textures, furniture and light all work together to make a room functional and comfortable. Jane Seymour, an experienced artist and home decorator, teaches readers in simple steps how to tranform a house into a home that is personal, warm and welcoming for family and guests. Using her own home, Coral Canyon in Malibu, California, as an example, Seymour shows how anyone can change out the look of their home, affordably and practically. For Seymour, collecting the things you love and displaying them in a creative way is more satisfying than being surrounded by expensive, impersonal decorating. Divided into chapters based on living spaces, “Making Yourself at Home” gives specific instructions for designing and decorating each type of space, including rooms for entertaining guests, family gathering places, private spaces, individual’s rooms, and creative outlets.

 Seymour believes each person is an artist in his or her own right, and in this book she encourages everyone to find the artistry within. “With this book, I want to inspire people to discover their own style and make it easy to put it all together.” --Jane Seymour. The book is a very personal peek into Jane’s family’s home and lifestyle, including many photos of her family. Hardcover.

  1. Perfect for my five minute break from packing. Jane's decorating book sounds wonderful. I believe every person is an artist too. Art is simply a story and we all have a story and so many different ways of sharing it.
    So glad you shared these posts. Perfect distraction.
    XOXO's,
