It's not every day that you meet your heroes so we really can't blame journalist Lucy Jayne Ford for chancing her arm with this move and we're actually delighted for her because the outcome was more than anyone could have hoped for.
Ford, an entertainment reporter and journalist for Bauer Media, sat down with 'A Wrinkle in Time' stars Mindy Kaling, Reese Witherspoon and Oprah Winfrey on the London leg of their press junket and while she had a job to do, there was something else on her mind.

This really could have gone either way, and with interview time so precious, it really was a gamble. Thankfully, it went down a storm.
The moment I handed @RWitherspoon my 15,000 dissertation/love letter to Legally Blonde - and yes, it was scented. I blacked out somewhere between her taking it and Oprah saying 'wow' #WrinkleInTime pic.twitter.com/56XV8FElqV

And if you want to have a read of Ford's 15,000 words yourself, you can.
