Beyond the Book

Hello, my name is Kara Cochrane, and I was Elaine's heroine in Her Kind of Man.


I like going to movies, don’t you?  For one thing the refreshments are better than what I have at home, and for another the movie just looks better on a big screen in a dark room. I’ve seen lots of romantic movies. Can you guess the name of these movies?
