Thanking all who came to this site

 

I have been looking through this site at least once every week and sometimes more often. And I keep seeing people who have watched my movies and seen my advertising work, and my shows. It’s incredible how much mail I’ve seen in all this time.

 

I think about the time I came to Bombay. Fresh from modeling assignments around the world. It was a strange new city. I didn’t know the language. But I muddled through. Despite the loneliness that I felt in my earlier years in the city I felt a certain acceptance that grew with the years.

Despite my worries, I realized there was hope here. People accepted me for who I was. I felt acknowledged, and appreciated, and I felt like I was home. My trepidations were overcome slowly and I began to feel like this was part of who I was. To all the people who gave me this feeling of acceptance, I may not know all of them, I give my thanks.

I actually spent a good week while I was between shoots to take a look at my fan mail. I am overwhelmed by the comments. I feel a connection with my audience that I have not entirely appreciated. I get comments, advice, laments and commiseration on my website from people who obviously wish me well. I can’t imagine how much I have missed, not knowing how much so many people wish for me. I thank you all.

I go to work each day with the knowledge that a lot of people are wishing me well and waiting to watch me in the movies. It’s a wonderfully fulfilling thought and very gratifying. I love you all.
