DID I EVER MENTION MY MEETING DIRECTOR ROBERT WISE?

IT WAS THROUGH ONE OF HIS EMPLOYEES, A BLACK MAN WHO HAD BEFRIENDED ME MAKING THE INTRODUCTION AND MY LEAVING THE SCRIPT, "THE BEAUTY STEALERS", WITH ROBERT, THE MAN WHO EDITED THE FILM, "I WANT TO LIVE!" WITH SUSAN HAYWARD"...A MORE REVEALING TITLE NOW PERHAPS, THAN WHEN THE FILM WAS MADE...THE LAST FRAME OF SUSAN'S CHARACTER STANDING BEHIND BARS IN HER CELL, SCREAMING, "I WANT TO LIVE!" QUITE BELIEVEABLE, BEFORE SHE WAS TO BE EXECUTED. NOT RECALLING THE CRIME THAT HER CHARACTER HAD SUPPOSEDLY COMMITTED, IT MAY SIMPLY HAVE BEEN THE FACT THAT SHE WAS FEMALE THAT HAD WARRANTED HER CHARACTER'S DEATH KNOLL, PERHAPS. BACK TO ROBERT WISE AND "THE BEAUTY STEALERS" AND AFTER READING IT AND RETURNING IT TO ME, HIS CRITIQUE WAS THAT I HAD USED THE NOUN "HE" TOO MUCH IN THE PARAGRAPHS OF DESCRIPTION. I FELT SHATTERED AT THE TIME, BUT SOON RECOVERED. ROBERT WAS LIVING OFF OF PICO IN THOSE HIGH RISE CONDOS THAT CONNECTS AVENUE OF THE STARS WITH PICO, ON THE RIGHT IF YOU'RE HEADING TOWARDS LITTLE SANTA MONICA, AND ON THE RIGHT IF YOU'RE COMING FROM AVENUE OF THE STARS HEADING TO PICO, TURN RIGHT AND NOT TOO FAR AWAY IS TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX WHERE I HAD BEEN HIRED AS AN ACTRESS AND MET WITH THE DAUGHTER OF ABC AT THE TIME, INTRODUCED TO HER BY MY WRITER FRIEND, DOUGLAS DAY STEWART, WHO SHE HAD HIRED FOR REWRITES... AT THE TIME I WAS ATTEMPTING TO BREAK INTO SCREENPLAY WRITING, AND THE WRITERS GUILD, SUCH AS IT WAS, HAD WRITING CLASSES THAT I HAD ATTENDED ON LABREA NORTH OF OLYMPIC HEADING NORTH, WHICH DOUGLAS WAS ONE OF THE WRITING INSTRUCTORS, AND HE GREATLY ADMIRED MY WORK...ONE SCRIPT IN PARTICULAR THAT HE HAD READ, AN EARLY VERSION OF, "A MATTER OF CHOICE"...AND DOUG WAS USED FOR REWRITES OF "AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN" AND THE REMAKE OF "THE SCARLET LETTER"... I ENJOYED ENTERING TWENTIETH CENTURY STUDIO BECAUSE OF THE STREET SCENE DEPICTING YONKERS...FOR THE FILM, "HELLO DOLLY"...JUST A BIT OF TRIVIA FOR CHABAT, AND YOUR FRIDAY NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT...
