In lieu of flowers, a contribution in her name to Kittykind.org or Petpartners.org would honor Jamie and her life long devotion to animals.
Rom-Com Mainstay Hugh Grant Shifts To The Dark Side and He’s Never Been Happier
After some difficulties connecting to a Zoom, Hugh Grant eventually opts to just phone instead.
"Sorry about that," he apologizes. "Tech hell." Grant is no lover of technology. Smart phones, for example, he calls the "devil's tinderbox."
"I think they're killing us. I hate them," he says. "I go on long holidays from them, three or four days at at time. Marvelous."

In an interview, Grant spoke about these and other facets of his character, his journey... Read More
