Interview with Sophia

Note this exciting news!!!

I am putting my feet up. I am just going to put my feet up because I have been working solidly, and I am going to be having a baby.

Wonder if that means she IS pregnant or joyfully working on being pregnant! So many of the ML alumni have started families it's nice to know she's in that secure place.

And huge to her for just coming out and saying so.

Sophia, dear, best wishes for a trouble-free pregnancy! We love you!

What a lovely interview and what wonderful news for her. Thanks so much for sharing it with us, Rhonda!

Wow!! What wonderful news for her!

I found myself nodding when she spoke about there not being roles written for strong women. Perhaps she's correct about them being so complex that writers find them difficult subject matter.

What a good interview. Isn't she just the most down to earth, level-headed person? And I loved what she said about strong female roles. It's one more reason to hope for more women to rise in the filmmaking biz, so that strong female characters may have more of a chance to get written believably!

And I'm thrilled for her that she's starting a family. I'm sending her all sorts of love and good feelings.

I think this is the kind of film I cannot stomach, but I loved to read her thoughts about the process and her experience.

I just think that there are more strong roles for men. Maybe it is because women are more complex and maybe people don’t understand them and so cannot write for them (laughs).

I think she would join our H50-laments if she watched the show like we do.
She's such an intelligent woman and can express herself very well.

And congrats on the family. It seems that the blessings Alex gets in Hawaii are spreading all over the world.

Wishing Sophia the best.

She looks beautiful and healthy--and she said in the interview that she's having the baby in "a couple of months"!
