Happy 25th Anniversary “Ever After”!
One of my favorite movies of all time, Ever After: A Cinderella Story, turns 25 years this year! I cannot believe it has been that long, as I watch it every year or so just to relive the marvelous story of Danielle de Barbarac (played by my favorite actress Drew Barrymore who by the way,… Continue reading
