The weekend pool crowd was invigorating. One tenant, a terrific actor from Texas named Gene Ross, had famous friends he called the "Texas Mafia." One Saturday, I met a gorgeous member sunning herself named Morgan Fairchild. She interrupted her chat with me to take a call from her new beau, Mikhail Baryshnikov. Later that evening, as the tequila and BBQ started up, a stocky fellow with a bald head and twinkly grin sat down to drink a martini. Well dressed, funny and charming, he introduced himself to me as Edward, a friend of Gene's. We chatted it up about the interesting apartment characters until he got a call from his wife and had to leave. He said he'd love to talk about the apartment again and trotted off. Gene later revealed to me that Edward was Edward Anhalt. <br /><br />His demeanor was more Girls, Girls, Girls than Becket. Very cool to meet him. It was quite a Saturday. <br />Jeff Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708037522976667642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-44041398139436632722017-02-04T09:41:04.451-08:002017-02-04T09:41:04.451-08:00Matt, astoundingly enough, it would appear Becket ...<b>Matt</b>, astoundingly enough, it would appear Becket stomped the King, 9.1 to 2.6 million!<br /><br />In fairness, there only seems to be USA box office numbers for "Girls," so it's unclear if that had an international release or not.iainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-58302403981367487692017-02-04T09:15:12.351-08:002017-02-04T09:15:12.351-08:00I wonder which made more money, Girls, Girls, Girl...I wonder which made more money, Girls, Girls, Girls or Becket?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11777496001166356949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-21513967656136026232017-02-04T08:18:10.438-08:002017-02-04T08:18:10.438-08:00Wow!
