Marsha Mason

Survival Kit | May 6, 2010
Marsha Mason has been nominated for 4 Academy Awards -- for her work in The Goodbye Girl, Only When I Laugh, Chapter Two and Cinderella Liberty. She’s appeared in dozens of plays, movies and TV shows, including a regular stint on Frasier, and she’s won two Golden Globe Awards. Yet in 1993, she fled her movie star life to start a medicinal herb farm called Resting in the River, outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and she now divides her time between acting and developing herbal products. Let’s see what this very talented woman would want to include in her survival kit.
Her list:

1. A Botanical Encyclopedia
2. Paints and paper
3. Picture of her daughters and their families
4. A journal
5. A walkman with “How to Speak Spanish” tapes
6. The Koran
7. The Nectar of Chanting: Sacred Texts and mantras sung in the ashrams of Swami Muktananda: Sanskrit transliteration with English translations
8. Resting in the River fanny pack, including Marsha’s Superior Support, Marsha’s Chill Factor, Spilanthes tincture, Killer Salve and Marsha’s Magical Soap.
