Can't believe you worked with Coppola and I love that he was a gentleman (and urged you to eat!). Any man who isn't a #Metoo motherfucker now seems like a paragon of virtue. Can't believe Lansing was such a bummer. Damn! I read "Is That a Gun in Your Pocket?" and decided she was one of my heroes. No more! That WAS the height of coldness, not applauding FFC's extraordinary effort. Rude! And shitty. Hollyweird!

I mean to keep being a total bummer after Francis practically bled out - it was such a bully play. He is a paragon of virtue!

Yes, 'tis I. I hope you are doing well. I enjoy reading the text as I listen to the audio. Is that weird?

OH MY GODDESS -- how is it that I didn't know this story (from the grapevine, etc.)??? Even in its truly infernal spectacle, its miseries, its unexpected grotesquerie (well that would be Sherry Lansing -- not my experiences or impressions of her, but I have NO DOUBT she was fully capable of creating her own kind of hell-frozen-over, wherever the room), it's absolutely GLORIOUS. We already have your "Fear and Clothing" (how did the style/fashion world ever manage without it??). It would be so wonderful to have a picture not only written by you, but DIRECTED by you! Maybe even STARRING you. (Well Sandra B eventually filmed "Without You I'm Nothing"...) How did I not know that without your substack newsletter I, too, would be -- okay maybe not 'nothing', but that much more miserable. Love this. xox

Awesome and sharp-eyed and sharp-tongued and hilarious as always, CW. Glad to have rediscovered your writings in this corner of the 'net. Please never stop.
