I can't imagine Kate faring any better because even though I liked her, I never saw her as particularly vulnerable or sympathetic; more analytical and cool. Of course, a part like that surely would have changed her career, so no wonder she was crestfallen to lose it! As for la Streisand, I think she was a stunning talent who just had a lot of trouble relinquishing control whether it was her place or not (and eventually got it in many cases, and not always to her own benefit.) She was unique and probably was sensitive to anyone who didn't share her vision of what she was after, be it her music or her looks on-screen. I think (and hope!) that Jimmy Brolin helped her to mellow out. Liz definitely had the last laugh up until Larry Fortensky, that was a mess, but then rebounded yet again as she ALWAYS did! You have to love her resiliency.<br /><br />And everyone, including Al in PDX, seems as shocked as I was to see Liz and John Schuck in a love scene (?) - I've never seen it!

This is a fun read. Very ...Heavy hitters is right. This is a fun read. Very actor-y comment from Dustin on Meryl. I wonder what he would have thought of Kate Jackson, who I read was supposed to play that role. I was also flabbergasted at seeing John Schuck (in tube socks no less), in bed with Liz. The 70's were not her decade. But saying that, I can never get enough of her. Such an easy target as she aged and gained. I think she got the last laugh on everyone. Rex Reed sure was bitchy, which made for entertaining reading. I talked to him at a bar once(very brave of me)and again at a party, and both times thought he was kind of nice, so I think the waspishness was an act. Walter probably had some valid points on Streisand, but it reads a little sexist,he may have found her audacious as she was only 28 then. Reading these I have to say I almost always come out on the side of the Ladies.Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-18189205369925269602017-09-05T08:26:48.220-04:002017-09-05T08:26:48.220-04:00Right??

LOL (Also, Reed wants to pick on Liz's derriere, which if you look at other pictures was not that big, but gives lard-assed Schuck a hall pass?!)Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-72799157758824328622017-09-04T09:18:23.267-04:002017-09-04T09:18:23.267-04:00Elizabeth Taylor in bed with John Schuck???
