……………………..I found a box of photos that I haven’t looked at in years, and I came across these……In the phots are Jac and me, Andrea Pfister and Jean Pierre Dupre, Ben Gazzara and his wife Elke. I don’t remember the name of the woman in the black hat. I think she was Elke’s friend. Elke and Andrea were old friends so that was the connection…..3 degrees of separation! What I do remember was we were on our way down town. We were going to an obscure theater to see one of Ben’s friends in a play. Don’t remember the name of the play or the name of the actor. It was a small production with four actors. It was good and Ben’s friend was very good. Afterwards we went to a small restaurant for diner and had lots of drinks! This was the first time I met Ben….What a voice…..what a presence. I have to say he was a little intimidating, but a very open and friendly guy……I was not a big subway rider, but Ben knew exactly where he was taking us…..A true NY actor!
You’d need a bodyguard to ride the subway in New York these days!
I always liked Ben Gazzara. I thought he was attractive and appealing. What fun to see these pictures.
