Phrancis Phord Coppola's Ophspring

From Yahoo News coverage of the Golden Globes[note: annoyingly slippery link]:

Director Sophia Coppola holds her award after winning Best Screenplay for a motion picture for her wok on the film 'Lost In Translation' during the 61st annual Golden Globe Awards (news - web sites) in Beverly Hills January 25, 2004. (Chris Haston/NBC via Reuters)

Dude, she spells it "Sofia." This is the Baysinger/Bassinger of her generation.

[And while she's usually very quiet, the one thing Sofia won't shut up about is her wok.]

Drew Nieporent's SF Rubicon is just down the street from The Wok Shop. Sofia's father is an investor. Coincidence?

Since 2001 here at greg.org, I've been blogging about the creative process—my own and those of people who interest me. That mostly involves filmmaking, art, writing, research, and the making thereof.

Many thanks to the Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Program for supporting greg.org that time.
