    Acting School 101 – February 2019 Introduction – Laura Dern

    Rob from MovieRob here!

    Like The Director’s Chair series being run by Tony, I think that this reignited series is a great way to get a look at what the members of the Lamb community think about the work of some of the most prolific actors/actresses who have been entertaining us all for so many years.

    I plan to try and focus on an actor or actress every month who has a birthday in that given calendar...

    The Movie of the Month for January 2019 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!
