I’m not used to silence. Quietness, yes, when the evening rush hour has died, and the roar of the motorway has calmed to a gentle hum. Not this, thick, tangible silence.

Amy Locane: Budding Actress Turned Vehicular Villainess
It's been a while since I wrote a piece like this, mainly because of the sports stories and my other weekly reviews, so I decided to break my hiatus with this story about actress Amy Locane. I actually remember when this broke, and back then, it was quite a fascinating story.
