"Nadien bleven we in contact met elkaar en lunchten we meermaals in een restaurant dicht bij haar woonplaats in Hechtel, Limburg, waar ze met haar eigen filmgeschiedenis een rustig bestaan leidde in de Sint-Lambertusstraat. Ik herinner me haar als een zeer vriendelijke, joviale en goedhartige dame. Het was altijd een plezier om tijd met haar door te brengen en het was een eer om tot haar kennissenkring te mogen behoren."

When I met former child actress Cora Sue Collins at her Beverly Hills apartment in March 2003, she said, ‘Did you ever talk to Ann Gillis? She lives in Belgium.’ I didn’t know that at the time, and…

A ★★★★★ review of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

So many brilliant reviews of this one-of-kind movie exist. Instead of adding more deserved superlatives to 2001, I’ll tell a special story about one of the cast members… (perhaps this is a good story) Some years ago I found out that a former Hollywood child star was said to live in my own town in Belgium, according to IMDB (thé film database next to Letterboxd).
