Hey, there's a new page! If you'd like a wallpaper of Chris Cooper for your computer just download it. Mita, from the chriscooper Yahoo Group, creates wallpapers and graciously offered to let me post them to the site for your enjoyment.

Also, I've added a link to a spoof script in IF Magazine that included Mr. Cooper. See the Related Links page.

I hope you enjoy everything.

I've added a new "Adaptation" review to the filmography page. It's from the Chicago Sun-Times and is accompanied by a photo from one of my favorite scenes from the film.

Meghan's Caramba Fundraiser Update
Hey ya'll,

I'm so sorry to be late with this information but the auction ended after hours on Friday. The closing bid for the auction of the amazing autographed "American Beauty" poster was 0. Congratulations to the lucky winner.

I've got to say that as a long time fan of Mr. Cooper, it was just awesome and amazing to see how much folks got involved in this fundraiser - not only those who placed bids but the many threads on the mailing lists discussing it. Did I mention lately just how awesome Chris Cooper fans are?

Lets all hope the success the fundraiser had encourages Meghan's Caramba to offer other future items for bidding.

Okay, so I've been a bit of a bum about converting those recently found articles to Web pages. Hopefully, you forgive me after you read the first installment, an amazing interview with Mr. *and* Mrs. Cooper from the August 5, 1996 issue of People magazine.

I promise to *make* time to convert at least one article per week until I've got them all up. Happy reading.

Cooper participating in Arthritis Foundation fundraiser
Hi ya'll,

Mr. Cooper has donated an autographed "American Beauty" Oscar nomination poster to his local Arthritis Foundation fundraiser, Meghan's Caramba. The item is available for bidding on E-bay. At this posting, bids will be accepted for another 4 days, 10 hours.

In January, Mr. Cooper's hometown paper, The Kingston Observer, ran an article that spoke of he and his family's involvement in their neighbor, Meghan Caseau's, Arthritis Foundation team. Miss Caseau is 11 years old and was diagnosed with arthritis when she was three.

I have to share this silly link with ya'll. If you'll visit Celebmatch.com and your birthday, it will tell you how compatible the two of you are. LOL It uses biorhythms to determine it.

Oh, and just to toture you, (not really, just so you'll know to check back soon) I had an amazing run of luck on the library databases yesterday. I found about 20 articles, reviews, and interviews to add. It might take a bit but I'll let you know as I get them uploaded.

Happy April Fool's Day!
No, I'm not going to be mean and play a joke on you, though. In fact, I'm loading you up on goodies. There's a new photo to gaze at here on the front page, from this year's Independent Spirit Awards and a new article with photo uploaded from the March 21, 2003 issue of Entertainment Weekly. I hope ya'll have a great day!
