Don't you know there are cats, every manner of cat, and everything else he loved.

We are nearly ill with envy. I have this overview of your New York years as being spent doing and seeing all the very best the city and the times had to offer. And yes, isn't he something? There is a You Tube interview with him talking about an awful movie called, I think, SUTURE. His wonder at its awfulness. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-7472146919212535852012-02-22T10:13:50.650-08:002012-02-22T10:13:50.650-08:00Elisabeth - Hello :) And that was a signature war...Elisabeth - Hello :) And that was a signature wardrobe item for him, the ankle-length fur, even though, as they say, he was very fond of animals.
