Sorvino family, crime stopping brigade!
Filed under: Action, Celebrities and Controversy, Politics
Mira Sorvino was made deputy sheriff of Lackawanna
County, PA yesterday, as part of a ceremony that, as Rush & Malloy tell it, seems to have
been primarily intended to fill the spank banks of the local officers. Whilst the township's real sheriff is all a
drool ("[Sorvino] would be a nice addition to the force," John Szymanski said. "She's a very beautiful
young lady") he makes it clear that the honor doesn't really mean anything. A deputy sheriff, Szymanski says,
doesn't have "any police powers." But as Sorvino's father, actor Paul Sorvino, tells the gossipmongers, that
hasn't stopped him from fighting all kinds of crime. Sorvino, who was made deputy sheriff of Scranton in 1982, says,
"I know I've stopped at least two robberies...Another time, I saw a guy driving in a very
dangerous way. I followed him for 5 miles and called it in...Whenever I can help, I
do." Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Somebody call the producers of COPS – we need to pitch a Sorvino Family Crime Stoppers reality show, stat!

She was good with Mariah Carey I thought in "Wise Girls" (or various combinations of the two words, this one harkens back to Director E. Mason Hopper's 1929 one, he later played an uncredited doctor in "Sunset Blvd." which was on this last weekend. WOW Gloria Swanson once told Robert Gardiner, (he told me) of Gardiners Island, NY, it would take a "Vivian Leigh" to play his great-aunt "the prettiest" First Lady, Julia Gardiner, married to President Tyler, about 40 years younger, after a tragic "Peacemaker" cannon explosion that killed her Senator father and others on the U.S.S. Princeton on the Potomac River about Mount Vernon) though it was made in Canada! She gets "drafted" into an undercover operation on the Mob. Someone should make a film about that "free" Haddersley cannon, cast in NYC (no the cannon).
