Some people lead charmed lives. There is extra grace involved
when the person who lives that life is as charming and irresistible
as the author of this autobiography.
The author seems to have just walked in the door full of enthusiasm
as projects - films, plays, restaurants - were forming and fresh talents
being born to which she offered her services. Bright and educated
but not wielding one special talent, she proved to be endlessly improvi-
sational working on films "Woodstock", "Marjoe", "Eraserhead",
"The Last Waltz", etc.
Some she offered to help had genius, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Marty
Scorsese, David Lynch and others. Generally, she was just looking
for work with people she might enjoy and the results were ingenious.
The places you can go and the things you can experience with such an
honest attitude and indestructible spirit are simply and beautifully described.
Young women, especially, will thrill to see how a life can be created,
and not just take the one they've been given. Other readers can enjoy
a view from the wings of fame, revel in a life well-lived and realize
that simple choices can lead to magic.
Author's Statement:
"F" Words
Years ago, when people would ask "What are you into?", an easy answer was, "Things that start with "F"....film, food, fabric....etc. wink wink."
I am a voice of my generation, beginning in the 1940s and continuing until the present. I have lived in remarkable times and have met and befriended remarkable people.
I didn't make these connections out of ambition. I'm adventurous but I'm also practical. Usually, I was just looking for a job and ended up with amazing people with great work ethics. I spent much of my time behind the scenes with people of substance, even genius.
Practicality can lead you to magic.
I am convinced that each person has an amazing story, whether told through a novel like Carol Shields' "The Stone Diaries" or described in terrifying detail in "Anne Frank's Diary".
I was young in the time of extraordinary change in America, post-war and into the '60s and lo and behold, things have been changing rapidly ever since. I'm telling this story because I feel proud and grateful to have witnessed, and even taken part in, many moments of change and beauty.
I hope I'm talking to young women who will see that your life's journey doesn't have to be planned, that you can stay open and resilient and let nothing bring you down.
