The book is always better -- it goes right into your head.
At the library today I picked up 'Nun: A Memoir' by Mary Gilligan Wong, 'Rebecca' by Daphne du Maurier, and a collection of plays by Tennessee Williams (Sweet Bird of Youth/Period of Adjustment/The Night of the Iguana).
The writer of the Library Journal review of 'Rebecca' noted, "A wise seven-year-old once told me, 'The book is always better -- it goes right into your head.'" Indeed it does, Marlys.
In the meantime, I've been kicking back, skimming a small stack of early 70s movie fan magazines.
I wish movie mag writers still wrote the way they did back then. Everything is so sensational, it jumps right off the pages.
"Is Ann-Margret in LOVE with Elton John? OR: Can a square married lady find happiness as a pop-rock princess?"
This issue of Modern Screen...
...has five shocking admissions of bisexuality! Unfortunately, they're all anonymous, except for the one from Maria Schneider, who said, "I've done more than most people my age .... Now I'm bisexual, completely, and I've had quite a few lovers. Probably fifty men and twenty women. I'm totally incapable of fidelity." When I first read that, I thought it said Maria Shriver, which really would be a shocking discovery.
But who was Maria Schneider? I know that she was a French actress, but wasn't she also the girlfriend of Hugh Hefner during the 'Playboy After Dark' days?
Anyhow...
We all know what a woman-crazed maniac Tab Hunter was...
And speaking of crazed maniacs, here's Liza, enjoying a party...
Don't forget Madge!
You know you're classy if you're wearing Evening in Paris perfume...
Has anyone read 'Maiden' by Cynthia Buchanan? I read this review (from TV Radio Mirror, May 1972 -- see below) and it sounds interesting in a sleazy, early 70s swinger way. Amazon describes it as "the riotous adventures of a thirty-year-old retro-virgin in rhinestones as she battles the flesh markets of Southern California in 1970." Read more:
What on earth were computer dating services like in 1970? And much more importantly, WHY DID LILY TOMLIN NEVER MAKE THIS MOVIE?
In other news: Have you ever noticed how sometimes you can just tell when a change is in the air? I have that feeling -- in a good way. I've just had this ITCH that says that something needs to change, and today I got a random phone call that could put me back on track in no time flat. I don't want to jinx anything, so for the time being, I'm going to be vague and mysterious! It's nothing major, but it could be just the change I need.
