If it is too easy. there is less value.

It’s not very hard to make Moscow mad.
One of the great joys of summer is planting vegetables and watching them grow. Not that I would ever eat any, but it's nice to watch them grow and know somebody else will be happy.

As you can see, I'm on a Mitch Hedberg kick now. Sometimes you just gotta do strangeness,
The Answer:
Shelly played opposite Jack Nicholson in The Shining. Right after that she was cast as Olive Oyl in the Popeye movie starring Robin Williams. But she will always be remembered for hiding in rooms at the Overlook Hotel.
