Re: The Family Stone, Publicity

To Whom It May Concern:

I wrote repeatedly in support of the release of Dermot's last film, "Must Love Dogs", and made several requests regarding the handling of Dermot's presence which were unmet. In anticipation of his next project, The Family Stone, I'd like to reitertate my previous points of interest in hopes that Dermot's work will presented in a way that falls in accordance with his and our wishes.

1. As with "Must Love Dogs", we're asking that "The Family Stone" be classified as "Mulron-ific" (mul-ROON-i-fik). Phoentic spelling is optional, but recommended.

2. Whereas Dermot is just as talented and respected as Diane Keaton, such should be indicated in any pre-release press. The phrase "Dermot Mulroney, who is just as talented and respected as Diane Keaton..." may seem forward and transparent, but we feel your readership would benefit from recieving this information in an undiluted state.

3. Should the film disapoint, all blame should be shifted from Dermot, and onto Claire Danes, as she is washed up and unattractive. If you could identify Dermot as a bright spot in an overwhelmingly mucky soup of impercision and hackership, we feel that would accurately represent our stance on the issue.

Thanks for your kind attention. If you have any further questions, you have my number.

Regards,
Anne Schecter
