How could I have missed this??? Winona has a prominent role in an upcoming HBO mini-series "Show Me A Hero." It is based on the true story of a white upper-middle-class neighborhood's resistance to a federally-mandated public housing development in Yonkers, New York, and how these racially-charged tensions affected the city as a whole. Winona plays Vinni Restiano, the Yonkers City Council president who advocated for integration. The miniseries was written by David Simon and William F. Zorzi and was directed by Paul Haggis. HBO has ordered six episodes and it premieres on August 16, 2015Info on HBO's "Show Me A Hero"

We have mentioned it a LOT here. Paul Haggis, by the way, is bigdaddy's homeboy and one of his town's three biggest Hollywood exports (the others being Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.)

Yes. I suppose it's obvious, huh? Simon is/was a very gifted writer for the screen and stage, as most know. And I'm sure somewhere in my total inspired collective, there is a vein of reason that is taken from him, of myself.
Be good...and watch some Neil Simon.
