A note about Spam:  If you have an e-mail account with EarthLink, check your new Spamblocker folder --any messages from someone not listed in your online address book on EarthLink will be automatically put in this folder out of sight and/or mind!  Roadrunner has also had mail server problems relating to spam/virus outbreaks over the past month that have delayed and/or lost mail -so beware! This said, I hardily recommend personal spam filters like the ones built into mail programs like Eudora and Macintosh Mail. But don't do what I did and leave them to their own devices for too long --check those 'junk' folders regularly-- it may not be all junk!

Now for some (slightly delayed) news  ...If you don't see your contribution here... please let me know!

From Helper Pat Paone...

As many people will probably know, Ron Perlman has been on the Hellsite message boards a couple of times recently to answer a few of the many questions the fans have put to him.  Due to the fact that some people are not able to access the Hellboy website and message boards, I have transcribed this informal Q&A (with Ron's permission) and put it up on the Perlman Pages so that everyone can read what Ron had to say.  I have also simplified the transcript as much as possible by including only the questions Ron has replied to so far.

If Ron has the time to come back and answer a few more questions anytime soon (and we certainly hope he will), I'll update the transcript accordingly. The url is:

And this from Helper Margot...

Over a year ago, I wrote a letter to Oprah to say her article in "O" Magazine about a lady who was SAVED by Edward Albert (she got thrown off her horse and was literally wrapped up like a pretzel and in agony...with broken bones, etc).  He found her sort of by accident, it said, and this was very inspirational to me, so I wrote and my letter got published in the magazine's editorials.  But, for what ever reason, they did not include his name in my letter....as the person who saved this lady.

This guy is the GREATEST. I think he is the next De Kelley!!!  Not only is he one of the most handsome guys I have ever seen on screen, he's truly a great actor and obviously a nice person. He keeps to himself, watches after his Dad, and hopefully has an excellent, long-running marriage.  *SIGH*  I guess such beautiful men do exist in this world.

Banging on the pipes in hopes of getting in touch:

Mandy is seeking to contact Carolyn Kliensorge and Lena Wood is hoping to contact her old friend, Beth Druhan.  If you have any info, please share and I'll pass it along.
