First of all, since I didn’t get this up in a timely manner, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY RACHEL!!! I know this is going to be a wonderful year for her full of exciting projects.

What I really wanted to congratulate her on is the fact that Rachel has landed a role in a new movie directed by from a script written by Aaron Sorkin for a December 25, 2007 release. “Charlie Wilson's War” stars Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, with Rachel playing the role of Suzanne.

This should be a block-buster of a movie, based on George Crile's book: "Charlie Wilson's War: The Extraordinary Story of the

Largest Covert Operation in History". As you might guess, it is a drama based on a Texas congressman, Charlie Wilson's covert dealings in Afghanistan, where his efforts to assist rebels in their war with the Soviets have some unforeseen and long-reaching effects. "War"is a Universal Pictures production which centers on the CIA's largest and most successful covert operation, the arming of the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan. Tom Hanks and his business partner Gary Goetzman are producing the film through Playtone, their production company. Congratulations, once again, my dear Rachel.
