Do your peers know your views?
You go to Sardis or Elaine’s
Are they even still there
I’m an 80s resident obviously
It’s takes courage to be a righty in entertainment
When I’m in NYC now I notice most white regular residents of adulthood tended to be more reasonable than the occupy and democrat masters you see on the news
The rank file were rabidly pro Trump and loved that I was southern assuming correctly I was a fellow traveler
I woulda thought you two would have crossed paths long ago.
Well, you know what opinions are like. Got any proof? And I don’t mean settlements. Proof.
I acted in Off Off B’Way productions in the late 60s, including at Judson Church and St Mark’s Place (as well as in Regional theatres and the touring production of America Hurrah) and don’t remember men ever using our dressing rooms. But then, most of the men in these casts weren’t interested in women anyway.
Really? I’ve always seen one dressing room with men and women dressing unless it was a very nice theater. Meant nothing to anyone; they were too busy getting ready to get on stage or off at out.
Some friends do, some friends don’t and one good friend shares my views - there are more of them out there than people suspect. But theater people when they’re together don’t always discuss politics at all. That’s for the famous folks who have time on their hands.
Sardi’s is still there, Elaine’s is long gone.
I may be misremembering about the dressing rooms in the East Village. It was after all more than 50 years ago and I was always laser beamed on my own prep.
I lived between Elaine’s and the Surf Club in Yorkville a bit in 1987-88
Ms Kaufman did not suffer fools gladly
Very New York
My ex met Jimmy Woods there when she was super pregnant with our now 28 year old Hannah
Woods took a shine to her beauty and ripe glow....she was beautiful 7 months pregnant
He was very kind and we’d see him in passing frequently
He was still concerned he’d never lose the Onion Field And Wiseguy typecasts then and of course the Sean Young spectacle was recent
Elaine adored him.....she sucked up to celebs ....big time
And since he paid attention to us she tolerated us when we’d come in to eat
The food was awful lol
Never went to Sardis
Marmelstein is one of my top five femalian posters here and yes I do know her for a long time as an erudite New York City lady
But I did not know she was theatre
I love that.....theatre is talent time...can’t hide in the collateral set wash like in film
Naked
I love it but I never went to Broadway to see. Play
I did see movies though in the big houses and then we’d walk back home 50 to 70 blocks....4-5 miles up or downtown
I went to off and off off broadway for some stuff
Vietnam vets play called Tracers...Twyla Tharp twice....a western show and Twyla does Sinatra
A few plays
When my mom would visit I’d stand a TKTS to get her tickets to Speed the Plow..early Mamet and Amadeus and Torch Song Trilogy and Biloxi Blues
And I’m not Rapaport
My mom loved and I mean loved Theatre....she’d drag my Red Stripe Beer heiress lover with her....that girl whose deceased momma was a Hollins Virginia grad really indulged and felt comfortable with my Miss Mississippi mom
Met my wife on the job, flirted and dated while in the work place. Tenth anniversary in the summer and an 8 year old.
I only went to Elaine’s with my dear friend the late, great journalist Sidney Zion although I went once with a Anglo-American B’way director and Elaine tried, as always, to stick him with an overpriced bottle of wine. I hated her, to be frank. She loathed women and was openly nasty to them. But it was a poppin’ place. It’s been replaced by Nicola’s. My brother is a regular there and we go on his birthday. It has fabulous food. Sardi’s gets a bad rap but I love it. The people who work there are very nice and I’ve never had a bad experience. Judge Napolitano is a regular and he’s pretty self-involved!
James Woods was wonderful in The Onion Field and I always thought it was the role that made him a star. He’s also good on Twitter - one of the few celebs I follow.
Yes, we’ve known each other for years now and share a love of our southland.
Amazing how you got around in NYC! You were there when I was pretty young and active so had many of the same experiences - club, clubs, clubs.
In those days, there were many movie theaters in the Village, east and west - retrospective houses that showed old movies and afterwards, we, too, would walk 30 blocks home. It was nothing. A great place to stay slim.
NYC has every type of art coming through as your list proves. As I always think, in those days you either lived a Woody Allen movie life or a Martin Scorcese life. I lived a Woody Allen movie life although during the crack epidemic, occasionally Scorcese would peek through. I just watched “Hannah and Her Sisters” again and marveled at Bobby Short at the Carlyle. My brother used to take me there to see him and one evening I was seated next to...Paul Newman! What a night.
If I ever relocated and I think about that a lot, I’ll miss NYC always.
“Oh come on. The Duke LaCrosse team had a cheap hooker at an all male party. You have to do better than that.”
So are you saying all male parties should be illegal? What about the Duke lacrosse coach? He was fired from his job for what? His players having a party he did not attend or plan?
Consider the UVA fraternity. The entire story was made up about a rape at a fraternity party. Based on this story, the entire fraternity system was shut down by the UVA administration with no investigation and no due process. To be reinstated by the university each of the fraternities were required to sign a new agreement with the University which subjected them to rules and oversight none of the progressive social justice organizations on campus are required to follow.
Sorry, both incidents were pure tyranny, not sexual misbehavior.
I am saying if you want to avoid problems that necessarily accompany such things, don’t invite a cheap hooker to dance at an all male party.
It’s not a matter of principal, but common sense & human behavior. No, the scantily clad girl walking alone at night in areas where lots of males hang out is not “guilty” of anything. But she is stupid.
