TIN SELL TOWN LOVE

love's gold in them thar hills
and fools gold,
tin, playbills ...
anything real in these stills?

oh, Julia, what a little gal
from Manhatten
could do -- or couldn't ...

let's do lunch
in another town, time,
place, universe
and talk of Simon's
daughter's vain tan man

Did you really tell him
(Shirley's astral brother)
in so many words,
he was too immature?

Perennial lover ...
A bit hard -- for him
legendary Lothario
to get in
a last word now

Bravo for your last Sting
of words
and truth's ring
louder than that OSCAR!

May the shine glow brighter
from your star -- out there
wherever you are ....
dining among the Pleiades

Multi-talented, Oscar-winning lady of major movie producing fame (Google her up for a list), who died too soon. Julia Phillips will probably be best remembered by the general public for her tell-all novel about the mechanics/dealings, insiders of Hollywood film industry and film financing with bestselling novel "You'll Never Eat Lunch In The Town Again" ... another lady whose words are recalled when reading Words by Dorothy Aldis.

From the wild and wooly Hollywood gossipmongers: It's been said that when Warren Beatty proposed a threesome with Julia and her very young daughter, Julia quipped to him that she believed both of them were too "mature" for him. Carly Simon (singer/composer, Simon's daughter of Simon & Schuster) is said to have written the "you're so vain" lines in her song about Beatty / Shirley McClain's brother.

Hollywood: What a difficult place to deal in "love" -- real or imagined. So many believe that movie "love" is real ..... Rennie
