I’ve been trying to come up with an Oscars-related post, but the only one I can think of is that Farmgirl Marsha Mason, a nominee for her role in the 1977 film The Goodbye Girl, is now running an organic herb farm – Resting in the River – in beautiful arid Abiquiu, New Mexico. Then, of course, there’s the Oscar-winning farmer Paul Newman, the drop-dead gorgeous philanthropist founder of Newman’s Own, and inspiration for his Farmgirl daughter Nell Newman, who la
unched Newman’s Own Organics. In her bio, Nell talks about her farmgirl upbringing, toiling in the garden, raising chickens and learning from her father how to fish and how to cook from her Oscar-winning mother Joanne Woodward.
Sadly, I didn’t see Marsha, Paul or Joanne during the Academy Awards. And my Oscar night pix were rotten. I half stopped listening when Sacha Cohen didn’t win for Borat.
