- I agree with Michael's assessment of Judy Davis.

- The first Judy Davis movie which I saw was MY BRILLIANT CAREER.
- It is a wonderful movie -- but it is also a wonderful book, by Miles
- Franklin (1879-1954). It is a novel which many people assumed was
- autobiographical. She wrote it at age 16, and it was published
- when she was 21. She would not allow it to be reprinted while
- she lived, because the book was viewed as pure autobiography.
