Last week we met through mutual friends. She seemed surprised to hear i saw Caroline three times. Genuine i'm sure, but how could she not have already heard that from devoted Caroline fans?
We discussed an upcoming play in Connecticut. I said 'aren't you up for another Broadway role? The Color Purple?' She said no and was technically correct, but i was not entirely wrong--it was Dreamgirls! Maybe it was too soon to discuss.
By the way, she doesn't read message boards because 'her feelings were hurt once.' OK, WHO DISSED ANIKA? I'M GONNA KICK SOME ASS!
