She is also incredibly wealthy outside of her acting and producing work.  Her father was a French born businessman worth over $3 billion when he died last year.

Oh, so thaaaaaaaat's what you find attractive about her....


And I knew that. It's the same Dreyfus as the investment firm.
Have some patience, FFS.

Actually that is a different company.  Her father comes from the Louis Dreyfus fortune, which is a big European agricultural firm like Archer Daniels Midland.

She is very well preserved for a 56-year-old woman.  If she has had anything done, you can't tell.


Dey all have had somethin' done ether from da simple botox to da fake knockers. Just check out da bounce in der step. Knot hard ta tell, ai na?

Louis-Dreyfus is one of the world's great commodities trading firms.  Her father Gerard was a great oil trader who had the influence on an OPEC minister on that market.

My boy Drew Magery does it again. Enjoy:

Thanks for the link, chick. That was a hilarious read. I especially liked:

Kentucky is laudable for its openly mercenary approach to the sport and utterly despicable in every other regard. Kansas is a five-man letdown. Michigan State will either beat everyone or crap out early, so long as it’s the opposite of whatever my bracket says. North Carolina is tolerable only because they aren’t Duke. And Iowa State is worthless.

I actually rather like Wilbon even though he is insufferable about NW and all things Chicago.

As for NW producing fairly well-known sports media ... I wouldn't be surprised if Marquette not only has produced more, but WAY more.

The difference is that MU journalism grads don't walking around bragging about where they graduated from like it's the equivalent of winning a  Pulitzer.

Also, MU grads act like they've been there before. Which, unlike Northwestern, they have.  Many times.   8-)

I liked Wilbon till he became a grouchy, "get off my lawn" dinosaur who refuses to acknowledge the changing media space, and worse yet derides those who aren't old print media like him.

You can say that about a ton of journalists though.

I like it.

I will admit to being quite the puffy-chested MU alum sportswriter during the 2003 tournament.
