@MMAFighting@guicruzzz Very true, Ketlen. The harsh reality is she did not finish fights and did not not learn one word of English being in the UFC for 10 years. Why would they pay her 6 figures to be the second fight on the card?
James was an excellent actor who fought a humbling battle, and his commitment to his family is truly inspirational. The Rules of Attraction is one of those rare books that was translated beautifully to screen. @AVARY Jamesโ depiction of Sean Bateman was perfect. Sleep well James
Iโve today learned that my dear friend James Van Der Beek, with whom I worked with on The Rules of Attraction, who has been a pillar of strength to me and my family during the hardest of times, passed away last night. I knew he was fighting a terrible battle with courage and compassion, and Iโm blessed that we had just recently had a very philosophical and existential phone conversation. I have never known anyone else quite like him, and rarely felt so close a working connection, and my heart is broken at the loss, and my thoughts and prayers are with his wife and children. God bless you, James. I love you forever.
