A Glorious moment for "America"!

So I post about my greatest nightmare -- a world full of clones. And a day later, America Ferrera wins a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy!

I've loved her ever since I saw her in Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. Now I definitely need to see "Real Women Have Curves", especially based on the film I'm making.

She would be a GREAT interview. I should try?

Anyhow, my heart almost burst with joy at her speech and at this incredibly significant moment in the progress of women and body image. And also the fact that she made a point to mention what this means to young girls all over the country who write to her specifically to let her know that they can identify with her and are overjoyed to see someone "like them" on TV.

This is what I'm trying to do with my film. Present a new breed of role models for young girls that did not exist when I was growing up.

It will be exciting to follow America and how her career changes and evolves as a result of this monumental accomplishment!

Feeling inspired....
