The Motion Picture Home (“Living in Limbo,” Aug. 20) is just that: a home where people planned and hoped to live out their later years without the worry and doubt they are facing now. [Among them are] creative people and their families who gave so much to the world with their various crafts and talents, bringing entertainment to millions and many generations around the world. Only here amid the drama of Tinseltown itself could there be so much sadness, loss and tragedy for the giving community of so many artists. If ever a happy ending was called for and needed, now would be the time for it to happen. Come on Hollywood, do your magic; they certainly did it for all of us, the grateful audience. This is one scene that shouldn’t fade to black and be forgotten. This home matters too much and deserves that cavalry’s one last ride for this very important rescue when it most matters. There is always a way to get that happy ending!
