Jeremy Irons
I about fainted when I got an email yesterday from Jeremy Irons, a hero of mine. I'd written his agent and proposed that he coordinate and star as the aging king in two epics centered on our translations of the Beowulf and the Psalms of King David. He's interested. Well, I was watching The Man in the Iron Mask, marveling over the performances of Irons, Byrne, Malkovitch, Depardieu. Even young diCaprio rose to the occasion, and I'd had a couple drinks, so cold called him. We'll see if anything comes of it. I'll keep you posted.

I'm not in the habit of sending letters to celebrities. Evidently this got through his agent and his staff so swiftly the reply took eight days--across the pond. Alan and I became aware of Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews when we watched Brideshead Revisited in 1982. I think the reigning kings of English Drama, Sirs Hopkins, Jacobi, and McKellan, are too old to slay a dragon. I think Branagh is too young, but I think Mr. Irons is just right.
Watching my inbox. Brothers and sisters, aim high!
