    You can be sure Bowie had something to do with it.

    Kevin. A real person who happens to b a Hollywood star. An anomaly, in a good way. My hat’s off to you, sir (from a 70 yr old hermit in Hawaii).

    Kevin and Kyra lost a huge part of their fortune in the Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme but they never whined about it to the press or asked for anyone’s sympathy. They simply worked hard over the years together in TV and film projects to rebuild it. I will always respect them for that.

    Remember both Kevin and Kyra are hard working but lost in the Madoff Ponzi scheme. Great actors/people, shame can’t work when want, etc. Always look forward to anything they are acting/directing/singing in.

    I saw Keven in Sleepers. The most creepy character ever. I wouldn’t watch any of his work for a long time. I’m feeling much better now.

    The key to marriage is total and complete resignation to the fact that you’ve been defeated. There’s a strange sense of peace to that, really.
