Got an email yesterday from my Dad, which he had forwarded from a family friend, Paul Lewis. The Lewises and my parents have known each other since university, and have two daughters -- Jennifer and Holly -- the same ages as myself and my brother, respectively. So of course when we were little kids we got thrown together to get into all kinds of mischief whenever the Lewises and the Locketts got together for dinner.
The last time I saw the daughters was high school. I've seen Paul and Chris Lewis many times in the last number of years (they both came to my thesis defense party, bless them), but have only heard report of the daughters' doings. Both are married, both very successful -- Jennifer in the hotel industry, and Holly as an actress.
This in fact was the gist of the email from my Dad -- Holly has done a huge amount of work on the Toronto theatre scene, working with such minor, insignificant, barely-worth-mentioning theatre troupes as SoulPepper, CanStage and Tarragon ... and now is in a new film arriving soon called These Girls.
It's very strange. I remember Holly as a bratty blond waif with a mischievous grin that was disturbingly similar to the one my brother used to wear (still does, actually). She's married and in feature films ... Jennifer's married and runs hotels ... Matt's married and has a baby ...
Tenure-track professor or not, I still feel like the miscreant. And I kinda like it.
Oh, and by the way -- for all you Buffy / Angel fans -- notice who the star of Holly's film is?
