“I’ll Eat You Last” Premiere
Sue Mengers taught me well, she told me “Ryan never sit down for nothing”. But for Sue, I will sit down on an airplane across the country, to be there for her opening night. I was thrilled to hear that the extraordinary Bette Midler will be starring as Sue. I am sure Sue would have been just as excited and I know she will be watching with me from where she is now.
