E.g.: Star Mary-Louise Parker is surely due for some laudatory ink for her performance as a cul-de-sac mom who turns to selling marijuana in her gated community ("Agrestic, California") to pay the bills (in cash) after her husband drops dead while jogging with their 8-year-old son My Celine Joined on Fri, Aug 5 2005 Hong Kong Full Member 116
