		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m Dan Gordon and I wrote the play Irena&#039;s Vow. I also wrote the stage adaptation of &lt;em&gt;Terms of Endearment&lt;/em&gt; among others, and one evening at a performance of &lt;em&gt;Terms&lt;/em&gt; a woman to whom I was pointed out as the author came up to me and told me what a fan she was of my writing. I was certainly quite flattered. Perhaps she liked one of the movies I&#039;d written. Perhaps &lt;em&gt;Hurricane&lt;/em&gt; with Denzel Washington, or maybe she was a fan of &lt;em&gt;Highway to Heaven&lt;/em&gt; or one of the other series I had done. &quot; Oh&quot; she said&quot; I just loved that book of yours, &lt;em&gt;Da Vinci Code&lt;/em&gt;.&quot; I smiled with apt humility and replied, &quot; Well then your going to love this play too!&quot; Somehow I don&#039;t think Mr. Brown is regaling anyone with the time he was mistaken for Dan Gordon.]]></description>
