Thought that you could eat all you want of fat free foods without gaining weight.
Thought the word was Pacific and not specific.
Was convinced that Tom Cruise was not gay.
Heck, she even dupes herself!. She thought her 1998 movie Beloved was going to be a hit.
From Box Office Mojo
Production Budget: $80 million
Domestic Total Gross: $22.8 million
1998 rank 81 (behind two IMAX films, at #43 and #50. IMAX. I kid you not.)
Gushy positive quote:
"Within Beloved lies a great movie with a powerful message, but its impact is muffled due to the filmmakers' indulgence and lack of restraint."-- Edward Johnson-Ott, NUVO NEWSWEEKLY"
...meaning I hated this piece of junk, but fear the mighty Oprah. All hail Oprah.
Despite stinking at the box office, she pushed it in TV shows and even a book on the making of the movie. Yipe. I run across it once in awhile in discount bins. Aaagh ...it burns!
Now available (used only) at Amazon for 29 cents.
