For today's Culture Vulture column, in the dead-tree Tribune, I met Elaine and Virginia Madsen - who were in Salt Lake City on Monday for a voter-registration campaign, Freedom of Expression Through Film.

Virginia Madsen is the Oscar-nominated actress from "Sideways," who also starred in "Firewall," "The Astronaut Farmer" and "The Number 23." Her mother, Elaine, is a poet and documentarian, currently editing a movie, "I Know a Woman Like That," about women aged 64-to-94 who are not letting age slow them down. (Virginia is the movie's producer, and Elaine's onscreen travel partner.)
