Fellow Travelers. Her chance to grow up came finally with Family Way. Along the way, she flipped for her co-director-producer, Roy Boulting.

Sticks-in-the-mud have made much of the fact that Boulting is 54, is in the process of divorcing his third wife, and that he and Hayley travel together.

I'd say between one-quarter and one-eighth of the people at my army base used drugs of some kind, even if it's just pain-killing pills they get from the dentist and, you know, sort of get the prescription refilled again.
