When you get to Friday it is good to take stock of what you have achieved this week. This can be a depressing thing as well as an encouraging thing: e.g. how much money have I not made this week, how I had no auditions and so on...
BUT it is equally important to realise the bigger picture and look towards the stars for inspiration. I don't mean astronomy or astrology (don't even get me started on that one!) but to the people who where once penniless actors like us but now more successful than we could ever dream.

Today it is an honor bestowed on the comedienne, singer and actress: Fanny Brice - the original 'Funny Girl'.
She dropped out of school, she wasn't 'pretty' and she had dreadful choice in men but became a huge star during the first half of the twentieth century with Barbra Streisand starring as her in the (not very historically accurate) movie 'Funny Girl'.
Someone has uploaded a little video biog on youtube.com:
