     Heard on Entertainment Tonight recently that the actress that plays

I read somewhere that the actress who plays Jerry's Mom (can't remember her name at the moment) thought it would be a good show-idea to have Jerry find out that his mom dated James Dean. I agree -- I think it would be hilariously funny if they did it right. :)

There's a biography series called "Hollywood Dearest" (sounds sleezy but in fact is very respectable) and James Dean was recently featured, including a lengthy interview with Jerry's tv mom...what is her name!? She met JD in New York and they shared an apartment for a while, he took her home to meet his family, etc. but they drifted apart when he started to get famous...(and he only did 3 movies!).

Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. D.DuM.

The actress's name is Liz Sheridan. There's also an article about her and James Dean in the current issue of People (which you can access on line through http:\\www.pathfinder.com). It mentions that Jerry Seinfeld is quite fascinated with her connection to Dean and frequently asks her questions about him.

Sorry, that website should be as follows:

There's a menu from which you can navigate to the on-line version of People magazine, as well as other publications.

Good luck!
