Renee Zellweger gives library new life

zellweger%20edited.jpg The old Highlandtown library branch will reopen this summer -- in a sense -- thanks to the filming of My One and Only, a romantic comedy starring Renee Zellweger. The branch, which closed last year to make way for the new Southeast Anchor Library, will be converted to a paint store for the filming, says Roswell Encina, spokesman for the Enoch Pratt.

The movie is loosely based on the memoirs of actor George Hamilton. Set on the East Coast in the 1950s, the movie will star Zellweger as Ann Deveraux, a glamorous divorcee hitting the road in search of a wealthy husband.

About the bloggers

While she always preferred The Hardy Boys to Nancy Drew, Nancy Knight grew up reading nearly everything she could get her hands on, including a probably unhealthy amount of R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike, with the obligatory Jane Austen thrown in. She'll still read just about anything you put in front of her, especially the funny or weird. She lives in the city with her books, cat and drum set.

Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is an assistant managing editor and Sunday editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.
