Inger,
The Molony entry you sent is unbelievable. I couldn't have asked for more. I've just opened the email and reread it twice, and I can't even begin to find the words to express my gratitude and appreciation.
I promise to use this new information to the best of my abilities to give my portrayal of Jim Farrell the justice he deserves.
Thank you again for everything.

PS-Occasionally, in the finale of the show, some of the cast members would feel a wave of raw emotion (Sadness, guilt, grief, etc) when the music swells and the line of survivors, with
Carpathia blankets draped over their shoulders, turn to face the spirits of their lost loved ones. I've felt it many times, and I can only say that the feeling of that tidal wave of emotion as it hits you is unbelievable. We all believe that whenever we feel that wave coming on, it means that we were fully committed to our roles, and that the spirit of the people we were portraying, for just a second, washes through us.
It's a rare joy that the actor can take a small part in, to know that we have the opportunity to play out the true story of an actual person that was on the Titanic's maiden voyage.
