Sorry for past days’ posting delays. I’ve not discussed this before, but recently my father has been very ill and undergone many hospitalizations and surgeries. I’ve been trying to divide my time between the website and his care. I will be out of town visiting him beginning Wednesday November 26th and returning home Thursday December 4th. I plan to keep DHD coverage as up to date as possible with special attention paid to the holiday box office. Please do not hesitate to contact me by email or by phone during this time. The best way to communicate with me will be deadlinehollywood@gmail.com or my private email if you have it. You can also leave a phone message for me or call my cell phone number. Thank you in advance for understanding. With your help, I will try my best to keep the website going.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and Dad. That is so much more important than Hollywood “news.”
Nikki — sorry to hear. Thank you for all that you do. You are the one link we have to truthful insider info about the biz. I hope your Thanksgiving goes well.
Family first Nikki. And be sure to try to get some rest. We need you!
Have a good holiday.
I’m wishing you and your family happy and healthy holidays for all.
Nikki,
Prayers for a full and complete recovery for your father. Caring for family is the first priority.
Also take care of yourself during these times. Your family of readers will await your return.
Blessings to all and your families during these holidays.
Tom
From my own experiences, I know exactly what you are going through, Nikki. Every second with your pops is to be treasured. May you find joy with your family over the holidays. And remember this: if good will was a currency you would be one of the richest people in Hollywood…just look at the wonderful sentiments in these posts! God bless.
All the best to you, your family and your father. Happy Thanksgiving, and hang in there.
I’m in agreement with everyone else. DHD should be the last thing on your mind over the next 10 days. Spend the holiday focusing on your Dad and family. I love reading DHD but if my day, and every other reader’s day is a little less interesting, enjoyable and informed we’ll be fine – strike or no strike, what’s going to happen will happen. Thoughts and prayers with you and your family, wishing your dad a full recovery and hoping you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Dear Nikki,
I went through all of this with my mom. God bless you and your dad. You will both be in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of your father’s illness. He’s lucky to have a devoted daughter like you to take care of him! I’m very impressed that you divulged what was going on with you personally in that way, but I’m sort of honored you did! That speaks to the great relationship you have with your readers.Have a nice holiday and thanks for all you do to keep us informed with the real deal Hollywood goings-on!
I’m sorry to hear about your father. I hope he makes a complete recovery, and that you and your family have a happy holiday.
Wishing your father a very speedy recovery. My thoughts and good vibes are with you and your family.
Your site is invaluable, but family and health, even more so.
Best wishes for your father, and hope your family has a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Best wishes to you and your family.
