because he loves strong women, because he wrote paris, texas (and many other amazing & haunting things) because he was so beautiful in terrence malick's day's of heaven, because, because, because.... he's just so hot. le fucking sigh.

 i went through a frances farmer obsession as a teenager (yes, one of those girls).... when shepard, playing her first husband leif erickson (jeffrey york in the movie), tries to save frances in the film, well, my heart was forever lost to him.
