: : Ladies, prepare yourselves.
: : Anybody who's awaiting DDL's next turn on the screen in "Gangs of New York" next year should not be looking for Hawkie-Poo. Or Newland Archer. Or even MLF.
: : Nope, here's what we can look forward to, according to a message board posting I saw earlier today:
: : US Magazine this week has an item called "My Left Eye"-- "Daniel Day-Lewis's new look might scare some of his female fans.
: : The actor, who is just returning to the business after a four-year hiatus, might not be recognized in GANGS OF NEW YORK,
: : now shooting in Rome. In the film, set in the nineteenth century, he plays Bill the Butcher, a glass-eyed gang leader, along side
: : Leonardo DiCaprio. Day-Lewis recently visited celebrity opthalmologist Mitch Cassell in his New York office to be outfitted
: : with a specially designed contact lens that bears the emblem of a bald eagle with a red, white and blue banner."
: :
: : And you thought those scary contacts Michael Jackson wore in the "Thriller" video were bad....yee Gads....
: : trembling in my three-inch platform boots, Christina
: ~~~~~
: Good grief! I wonder what Miss Marcia is going to make of this?
: A contact lense with a bald eagle? Ok.....
: ..Jeri

Not to worry, Jeri...Miss Marcia lives in another world, another time. For her, DDL hasn't been invented yet! ;o) (Now were Bent Twigg to suddenly take a notion to stick an eagle in his eye, she would probably faint dead away.)
On the other hand, MMMMarcia lives in the REAL world...well, SORTA! ;o) But SHE was alerted to this subject in a post from someone (Christina?) right before the Board was archived, and has braced herself for the sight. I figure an EagleEye can't be worse to look at than the layers of grunge & tartar build-up sported by DDL as John Proctor. (Shudder!) And I'm sure that no matter WHAT he looks like, DDL will turn in his usual stunning performance...probably one that will chill us to the bone, from the sound of it. I'm just happy to see him coming back to the screen again after this long hiatus!
