American actress and former model
Visiting my children at college. I don't stay long, because their lives are so busy - the way they should be.
Right now: Summer. Dusk. On my couch watching Australian Open tennis with my kids and dog. Doors wide open to a beautiful body of water. The first star of the night just appeared in the sky. Life is magical.
