FLASHBACK - February 19, 1999

It was a snowy snowy day in Pine Valley. The bride almost didn't make it to the church on time. But with the help of a horse drawn sleigh, the Queen of Hearts made it to the alter in time to marry her King. Stuart and Marian were wed on this day, 10 years ago in a beautiful heartfelt ceremony where the couple said their own vows. After Marian poured her heart out to Stuart, Stuart surprised his bride by singing "My Cup Runneth Over" from the musical "I Do, I Do!" Was there a dry eye on the house on that day?

Happy Birthday Michael Nader!!!

Birthday wishes go out today to Michael Nader (ex-Dimitri). He is celebrating his 64th birthday. To me, Dimitri was the true love of Erica's life. Their romance was epic!

Looking for Hope in a Past Uncertain

Earlier this year, TC Warner (ex-Kelsey Jefferson) released a novel, Now Silence.

Now Silence is a historical fiction account of life in Santa Fe, New Mexico, during World War II. The plots jumps between scenes in the United States and Nagasaki, Japan, where the second atomic bomb was dropped. Warner illuminates not only the bravery of the American soldiers abroad, but those they left behind.

Warner's story also juxtaposes the atrocities against American POWs in Japan with the Japanese internment camps created by Americans in reaction to the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The story came about from Warner's own childhood experiences. She had lived in Japan with her father, before moving to Santa Fe. She quickly recognized how both cities had been affected by the war.

Warner is also working on a film adaptation of her book, to be shot on location in Santa Fe, where she still resides. While not working behind the camera, she is completing her MBA.

To purchase Warner's novel, check out Amazon.com.

Genzel Takes on the White House in WATCHMEN

Vancouver native Carrie Genzel (ex-Skye Chandler) stars as First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in the highly anticipated movie Watchmen. This is not the first time the similarities between Genzel and Kennedy have been noticed. Photographer Robert Milazzo did a recreation of Ron Galella's famous "Windblown Jackie" shot with Genzel as the model in 1997.

The movie takes place in the 1960's when the USSR and the USA were caught in the cold war. A series of strange happenings eventually ends the conflict, but at what cost?

Fans can also spot Genzel in an upcoming episode of Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place. Genzel has two movies coming out as well: The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus with Colin Ferrell and Jennifer's Body with Megan Fox.

Genzel on the set of Watchmen.
