WOW! I liked Virginia Madsen before.... Now it's on a whole new level. Her video is genuine & real. I feel like we're sitting together, drinking tea, and she's replying to a question I just asked. I'm so grateful for her thoughtful message. This is the BEST gift I could share with my sister (who's also an "Imagined Life" podcast fan).

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I admire your positive attitude - it's contagious! It's funny I just realized the two main characters opposite you in the movies I most enjoyed were named Miles :) I also thought you were great on Frasier! I went to Hinsdale Central High School (class of '77), and I remember New Trier was a rival of ours. I now live in Phoenix, AZ so I share your enjoyment of warmer weather! Let me close by saying I really appreciate your cameos. You are such a genuine soul. I wish you the best!

Thanks so much for the QUICK response Virginia! My best friend was shocked to receive a birthday greeting from "Maya". You rock!
