Two Greats
Circa 1984. 13. Summer. Toronto, Canada. Had the opportunity to work on a feature film for television with Frances Foster (left) and Gloria Foster (no relation), two great actresses.
Some of you may remember Gloria Foster as "The Oracle" in the first two "The Matrix" films. Unfortunately she passed away before she could reprise her role in the final film.
Frances Foster was in movies such as Crooklyn and Malcolm X among a ton of others.
Sometimes I’ll flip through and see them in movies made long ago. I miss them both.

men and countless lives ruined.
