After eight months in existence Hard Copy has just passed the 7,000 reader mark so it’s time for a bit of self-congratulatory back-patting. 
One of the 7,000, I’m delighted to say, is the lovely British actress Andrea Riseborough, who stars in the crime thriller Brighton Rock and is in contention for an Oscar nomination for her role as Wallis Simpson in Madonna’s W.E., the story of Wallis and King Edward V111.
Andrea has dropped me a note to say she reads Hard Copy and, quoting the blurb, says “it does indeed appeal to someone, somewhere at some time…that person might be me!”
And, referring to one of my news items, she asks: “P.s. Did they ever discover if the Alien was ‘real’?”
Keep reading, Andrea!
