"Angus" now available on DVD!
After many years of petitioning and waiting and begging and waiting and waiting and waiting, Angus has finally been released to DVD. According to the Warner Bros. online store, it is produced using the best quality video master currently available and has not been remastered or restored for DVD/Digital Download release. They let you preview a segment to show the quality, which seems on par with VHS quality. Anyone who has wanted this movie on DVD, I think, would not really mind.

Message from Ariana: "Re: Summer Greetings and News"
Ariana just recently got to see the E! Entertainment interview. Here's what she shared with us about it:

OK....I just saw the E! Entertainment segment. Well, how to look really bad and sound even worse! Think of it as 'Ariana after she's just been hit by a mac truck.' I'd had a terrible grief come up just before the camera roll. My apologies to everyone--Let's hope I'm not going to give you such a gloom experience ever again!

Much to catch you up on. I had a nice radio interview this week and will let you know as soon as a link is available.

Sending a smile your way!

Ariana

I'm sure that the rest of Ariana's friends around the world join me in hoping that, whatever the terrible grief was at the time, all is now well with her. Her smile has, I am sure, been well received. And a radio interview that we'll get to listen to soon... That's something to look forward to, and this is where you'll find it.

Message from Ariana: "An Update!"
As the headline says, Ariana has posted an update on our message boards:

Hi everyone,


I hope this finds each of you well! Here is a long-awaited update.

I’m living the art life right now, but even so, TV has found me, E! Entertainment and NBC were just here at the art studio interviewing me. I really enjoyed sharing stories, painting on camera, and talking about acting experiences. And for the NBC Storm Stories, I talked about the unforgettable times I had going through Hurricane Iniki during the filming of “Jurassic Park.” I went through personal photos and footage and compiled images and footage from the Hurricane from mine and my family’s point of view. E! Entertainment interview is going to air July 29 and “Storm Stories” is going to air on ‘storm week’ on NBC the Weather Channel sometime in August. I will let you know when I have more details.

Look for:

Steven keeping me and Joey occupied with ghost stories during the Hurricane.

See before and after images of the island

See the DC3 cargo plan “literally” right out of “Indiana Jones” coming to our rescue.

Never before shared photos and footage of my experiences with the cast and crew of “Jurassic Park.”

Also, a newspaper article just came out today you might enjoy taking a look at. You can view it at http://www.statesmanjournal.com/apps/pb ... 9906140308

Bye for now,

Ariana
