Actress Rebecca Pidgeon (who starred in the plays Speed-the-Plow and Oleanna off-Broadway) has released her first U.S. album, The Raven. Her husband David Mamet (who is the author of the plays Speed-the-Plow and Oleanna) wrote or co- wrote lyrics to five of the CD's songs with her. All of this suggests an unlistenable vanity project...
