For AIP fans only!
I pitched the great Sam Arkoff a woman’s prison comedy -
Spent a couple hours with him in his penthouse in the 9000 building on
Sunset Blvd.
He sat behind a huge desk, chomped on his cigar and laughed.
And the whole time I was dreaming of AIP double bill press books.
For Tarzan and Serial fans!
Had lunch with Buster Crabbe across the street from Arkoff’s 9000
suite at the Hamburger Hamlet a couple years before that.
Crabbe was supposed to be one of the first Hollywood heath nuts, but
drank milkshakes and chain smoked instead of eating.
For Fox fans!
Had dinner with Richard Widmark at the Palais de Chaillot overlooking
the Eiffel Tower on the Night of Music -
Pretty amazing visuals - but he was so burned out I can’t remember if
he made sense out of anything.
For pot heads!
Spent the afternoon in a lunch room locked down under a bomb threat -
with Cheech and Chong!
Cheech was a sweetheart - Tommy not so nice - probably needed a hit.
For Demi Moore fans!
I worked as a writer and producer on Demi’s first film - Parasite 3D.
She was 18 when she walked in for the part - said about two sentences
and I immediately took her into Charlie Band’s office - read lines
with her - and I think we hired her on the spot as I remember.
My soon-to-be-wife at the time and I used to go dancing at Madame
Wong’s on Sunset when Demi's husband Freddie Moore played punk rock on
stage there.
For the rock elite?
Spent some time in Cherie Currie’s make up trailer looking at her rock
and roll scrapbooks -
(She was a real sweetie - also in Parasite 3D - lovely death scene!).
