Casting call

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

How about Cindy Crawford, or even better, Anna Nicole Smith? Limited
acting ability would not be a handcap for the part of Jolenta.

How about Phoebe Cates? (Although she'd make a good Valeria too,
I think).
