THANKS FOR JOINING ME IN THE PETITION FOR BRIGGS!
[Back to New Text]
Before Her Revision Surgery
Slipped Asleep Mid-Banana
Back Up to 111 Pounds!
My heartfelt thanks for going to the petition page and for having added your name. (The wonderfully sympathetic comments there and on YouTube have often moved Briggs to tears.) Susan Sarandon and Alan Rickman have very generously signed the petition, and now Jimmy Smits too; and it's kind of heartwarming that Cool Site of the Day would draw attention (on May 24th) to this type of petition as "cool." I mentioned in the petition some of what Briggs has been through and I've added brief bits on the photos above if you click on them, but the more 'awkward' ongoing things she has to endure I've left out. Time knowing no sympathy, I hope you'll send family and friends to the petition, and that together we can also get this safe, targeted immunotherapy, the future of cancer treatment, on the fast track for the millions of patients and their despairing families who have no options in sight.
Ironically, this website is for a feature film we made, a romantic drama set in 1650 that was in large part inspired by Briggs's mother's reaction to Briggs's father dying of cancer--except that we changed it to the husband having to come to terms with his wife's untimely death, a loss, as I mention in the petition, I'm hopeful, and would be so greatly appreciative, to leave in his imagined hands. On top of that irony, I'd had the idea of Briggs doing a cameo as the wife, Margaret, who in the film may be either a ghost or her husband Jameson's memory of her. Photogenic as she is in 'hospital' photos, if you might like to see Briggs at a happier, pre-diagnosis moment, the trailer-page link is over to the left below. She designed the costumes, too.
