So beautiful, Maria! Also… I hope you know that your legacy is way bigger than acting. It is in the way you touch people so deeply and authentically, with both immense strength and vulnerability, whether through characters you portray on screen, or with your own words that almost always lead to deep introspection and self-understanding. I will not forget the passage in your book about transition, and how you used the story of your son’s birth as an example (though the part, if I remember correctly, about threatening to strangle the midwife with the sheets if she didn’t stop being so mean to you, made me chuckle!). This is why I’m so happy that you have a Substack!

Me? Not yet. Maria Bello has one though. It’s called “Whatever… Love is Love.” She narrates the audiobook version herself!

I just wish we did not have to hear this via AI. Not the same as hearing the person who wrote the story.
