The Way We Were Fan
I work very hard Barbara. My life is full of responsibility. I'm thankful and grateful that I found my purpose in much the same way you have. But, sometimes the stress gets to me. Those are the times I watch "The Way We Were". It is the most realistic and intense love story that I've seen. I don't watch much TV, just Oprah, Dr. Phil and a movie every now and then. The Way We Were is my stress buster. A movie that leaves me in tears even though I've seen it many times before. Your character is like many real women that I know and have friendships with. Maybe I'm a lot like your character myself. Busy, smart, self-sufficient and not necessarily looking for love. Anyway, I love the movie and I want to thank your for sharing your talent with me.
I know this is a long shot. But I work for a 38 year old women's charity that needs help. Would you consider giving a portion of the proceeds from the sale of your new doll to a women's charity? If you do, consider Mini Twelve Step in South Los Angeles. It has integrity and is run by passion and love. www.mini12step.org is the website. If this is something you may consider please visit the site.
By the way. My name is Bobbi Owens. My character was featured in the Hallmark Movie: Accidental Friendship with Chandra Wilson and Ben Vereen. The organization that I'm asking you to consider supporting was also featured in the film.
I remain a Great Fan of "The Way We Were".

Great idea that maybe Barbra's Foundation could consider.
Back in 1973, I was a newlywed. My first viewing of this movie, was in a theatre with my new husband. I remember each of us trying to come up with the "best year"...we had already been together 5 years, but only just got married. We came to the conclusion that each year we had been together was the best. We watched this movie today, and found that we are still affected by it in the same way, 36 years later. We each tried to come up with the best year again and again, could not only come up with just one.
Hubbell and Kate's love was so great you could feel it. Of course when they make the decison to part it is very sad and still makes me cry.
I do feel that there is no closure with this movie however. Especially since he chose not to be a part of his daughters life. I am probably not the first to suggest this, but a Part 2 to this movie would be great. And if they should get back together, that would also be wonderful. One could divorce their current partner, or become a widow/widower. The daughter could be the protagonist who unknowingly gets her parents together. Her personality could be like either her Mom or Dads. And Barbara and Robert should reprise their roles. I see Robert retired from producing a TV show, living quietly on a ranch somewhere. He is alone now, his wife has died. They never had any children. Kate, divorced again, is still fighting for causes, and her current one is saving the planet. Their only child, Rachel, produces documentary films. She connects with her Dad, thru one of her projects, but dosen't tell him who she is,nor does she tell her Mom about reconnecting with the Dad. Someone take this over. Hope it happens in my life time. Barbara, you are so awesome in every way. I am a true respectful fan. Best wishes always.
