My favorite Fassbinder actress Margit Carstensen turns 72 today. She would be a Leap Year Baby. Somebody like her can only come into the world when the planets are perfectly aligned, when the ocean level's at just the right height, when there's a noticeable lack of bird song in the air as if all the world's creatures are simultaneously holding their breath but all at the same time thinking, "Yes! Yes! Oh god yes!" So is Margit, most wondrous woman.
