I guess it's Zsa Zsa watch once more.

Betty Bacall Needs Help.

Michael Musto is reporting that Lauren has moved into a nursing home. One of his commenters wrote, "Lauren Bacall can't afford 24 hour home care? We're all doomed." Ain't it the truth.

Hampton Fancher III

Though busy hawking his memoir and doing interviews, George W. took time out of his busy schedule and correctly guessed my latest mystery guest. Bravo George! According to Wikipedia, Hampton Fancher III, 72 is a former actor who became a producer and screenwriter in the late 1970s. Fancher was born to a Mexican mother and an American father in East Los Angeles, California, US. At 15, he ran away to Spain to become a flamenco dancer(!) and renamed himself Mario Montejo. Here he's pictured with Sue Lyon, of "Lolita" fame, who he was briefly married to. Mr. Fancher wrote the original screenplay for "Blade Runner," as well as executive producing the film.

Petrol is so different back east.

I Had a Ball.

This video kind of captures my nine days away. The first five were just wonderful, a couple days with friends in Bucks County, then up to Boston. Old friends, family, old neighbors and a reunion of my family with a woman that we hadn't seen since she left our house, age 10 in 1963. She'd been fostering with us back then and I'd recently found her. I had kept my discovery of her from my family and choreographed a brunch as a surprise for them. Surprise indeed. I love surprises....except shitty ones. That's what I got. I got sick and spent four days trapped in my mother's loo. When my four hour delayed plane trip finally got me home, I walked into the house with a migraine aura. Consider the last four days the unsynched part.

I'm Off!

I know I've been terribly lax about posting lately and I apologize for it. Maybe this little vacation will cleanse my palette.






I'll still be lurking about, though my access will be spotty.
