At Costco today, on the display TVs, I saw Bonnie Hunt, a quite attractive woman who has a daytime show. I know little about her, except that she has been in movies, has been married and divorced, and has no children.
Then I realized that the other two women with daytime TV shows, the two who have huge followings, have no children either. Oprah lives with What's-His-Name, oh yes, Steadman. Both in their 50s, they have never married and have no children. Ellen DeGeneres lives with--is "married" to--What's-Her-Name and has had no children.
It seems singularly significant to me that the women women watch and love and look to and believe in and trust and follow and take their word for things--come on, you know they do--have never had the experience in life that makes women really know stuff, stuff they can learn in no other way.
I find that notable. Don't you?

Yes.
Yes, I find that notable.
I was watching the Tyra Banks show and had a similar thought.
Also, Nia Vardalos (from Big Fat Greek Wedding) is on the Bonnie Hunt Show today talking about her moviews and her child. Paraphrase "My first movie was a miracle . . . I got nominated for an Academy Award . . . [being a mom] is better."
"I can only imagine," Bonnie Hunt said.
