Movie Queens and Biblical Queens

To paraphrase the Mel Brooks line “It’s good to be King,” well this year “It’s good to be Queen” or an over 40 actress or director just like Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock or director Kathryn Bigelow (“The Hurt Locker”), Nancy Meyers (“It’s Complicated”) or that perennial over 40 Jewish-girl director Nora Ephron (“Julie & Julia”) and Morning Star’s own Lynn Roth of “The Little Traitor” starring a superb Alfred Molina.
