That photo is from 2017 - years after she retired from movies. She looked like this for most of her career.

The 'weird' comic (http://www.viruscomix.com/page500.html) is one of my favorite things ever. I read it every few days and it never fails to cheer me up. Thanks for doing this! (Posting this here because I'm not allowed to post a top level comment without a question).

Authors with years of software dev experience tend to write books that are technically accurate but present an unforgiving steep learning curve. Which is funny, given that Python's popularity comes from it's readability.

This is very true. I remember the confusion I felt the first time I looked at a list comprehension - this would be considered 'easily readable' by current me. I work with some python programmers who are much smarter and their definition of readable tends to shift with their years of experience. At some point, the readable Python code in the expert's eye is not that much different from the "line noise" they accuse Perl of being (well, maybe a little different).

It is clear you are coming from a pedagogical metric of readability for beginners which is a much more reliable standard than what feels readable in your head - thank you for doing what you're doing and continuously striving to make it a little easier for beginners.
