John Schlesinger

A great book about Hollywood is Rupert Everett's new book, and in it he writes about John Schlesinger who was a friend. Lots of fascinating movie trivia is included. The movie's opening scene's apartment building in LA where Tod and Faye lived is evidently still in use, albeit as a crack den (at least when John S. and Rupert Everett visited it in the late nineties). One of the locations -- the producer's house -- is a Frank Lloyd Wright house which is in danger of being razed. Also, after learning more about John S., I enjoyed the addition of the female impersonator singing in the nightclub scene!
