For Joe, that means finally speaking to the ravishing neighbor, Jane, he's been watching through his bedroom window for years. Macpherson plays Jane. "It's just basically a beautiful love story. What I can say about the film is it's funny, it's charming, it's touching, it's sweet, it's warm," said Macpherson. "It's a real feel good movie and people have to go and get what they can out of the different points of view." Macpherson said when she first read the script, she had to laugh a little at her role. "I following our normal acceptance levels? Absolutely! Have we, as the human race, the capacity for accomplishment to the benefit of all? Certainly!

Jane Eyre, a movie Macpherson made with William Hurt, is set to hit theaters in April. When she leaves Utah on Wednesday, Macpherson is heading to New York to start shooting what she describes as a "tiny, weeny" role in Barbra Streisand's The Mirror Has Two Faces.

But the actress said she and Schaeffer worked hard on making the role of Jane more interesting than that. "On the surface, that's what she is, but underneath there's a whole other thing going on," Macpherson added. Although acting is something Macpherson is enjoying, it's not always easy. She's had to spend many hours in acting lessons since the last 14 years of her life have been dedicated mainly to modeling. ) ; Tips to help improve your fingernail health Butt ina On a- Show at VOUr Weddina J isn't worth going into years of debt Fungal infections are often encountered by people who frequent fingernail parlors.

I believed her then, and I still believe her, although some of my friends think this is a mighty odd arrangement. Belinda and I have talked about marriage and moving in together, but she refuses to ask Joe to leave. The man sleeps on the floor in the living room. He has a good job and could well afford a place of his own. He insists that he is happy the way things are and will not look for a place of his own unless Belinda asks him to. Whenever I tell Belinda that Joe should move out, she becomes very upset and says don't trust her. I am confused about their relationship. I'm really in love with her, Ann, but I'm conflicted. Please rush your answer to Bothered and Bewildered in North Hills, Calif. Dear North Hills: No couple should start life together with a I family friend sleeping on the living room floor. Tell Belinda that Joe must go. If she refuses to respect jour wishes at this point in your relationship, you are destined to have a very rocky marriage. Dear Ann Landers: I am in my late 80s and have a poor appetite. When I go to a restaurant, I often prefer to order from the child's menu because the portions are the right size for me. Am 1 right to say it is discrimination when the waiter tells me the restaurant will not allow me to do that? I believe it is wasteful to insist that I order more than I can eat. I resent paying for food that w ill go in the garbage. What do you say?
