WHAT ABOUT THE REVISED VERSION ALLEGEDLY OF...

GEORGE GERSHWIN'S, "PORGY AND BESS" IN AN EARLIER BLOG I THINK I HAD MENTIONED THAT ONE OF MY SUGGESTIONS, IF I WERE DIRECTING THE MUSICAL, WOULD BE IN THE CASTING, NOT MAKING THEM WITH THE BODIES OF DANCERS, BUT OF REAL PEOPLE OF THAT TIME AND PERIOD, IN CONTRADICTION I ALSO SAID I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO UPDATE MAKING IT CONTEMPORARY AND WHAT MADE ME THINK OF THIS WAS WHEN I SAW A PRETTY DARK-SKINNED BLACK WOMAN WHICH SOME WOULD THINK MAY BE OVER-WEIGHT, BUT FOR HER PERHAPS NOT. SHE WAS TRAIPSING, ALMOST DANCING, DOWN THE FRONT STEPS OF THE LIBRARY. I FORGOT IF IT WAS "HOLLYWOOD REPORTER" OR "VARIETY" THAT HAD PLANTED THE ALLEGED STORY OF BRINGING BACK THE MUSICAL AND HOW IT COULD BE TRANSLATED IN TODAY'S WORLD...THAT WOULD BE A GREAT CHALLENGE...A CONTEMPORARY "PORGY AND BESS"...I BELIEVE IT WAS "SPIKE LEE" WHO WAS BEING CONSIDERED AS THE FILM DIRECTOR AND I HAD CALLED THE OFFICE OF THE FILM PRODUCER ALLEGEDLY MAKING THE FILM STATING THAT I WANTED TO "THROW MY HAT INTO THE RING" SO TO SPEAK...AS POTENTIAL DIRECTOR. OF COURSE I WOULD HAVE TO HIRE A BRILLIANT CHOREOGRAPHER SUCH AS GEOFFREY HOLDER OR SOMEONE OF THAT CALIBER, WHO I THOUGHT OF FOR MY MUSICAL "CINDA", ABOUT A BLACK CINDERELLA IN HARLEM WHICH LED ME INTO A LEGAL HELL AGAINST PARAMOUNT STUDIOS. THE PLAY, "PORGY AND BESS" HAD SPECIAL PERSONAL MEANING BECAUSE MY "UNCLE", "EDWARD MATTHEWS" STEP BROTHER TO MY MOTHER WHO HAD BEEN ADOPTED BY THE RELIGIOUS FAMILY. UNCLE EDWARD HAD ALLEGEDLY ORIGINATED THE CHARACTER OF "SPORTIN' LIFE" AND I VAGUELY RECALL SEEING THE MOVIE DIRECTED I BELIEVE BY OTTO PREMINGER...I REMEMBER THE FILM AS I HAD MENTIONED IN A PRIOR BLOG THAT I THOUGHT THE ACTION WAS STAGNANT, PARTICULARLY FOR FILM...SHOOTING A MOTION PICTURE OF A STAGE PLAY IN MY OPINION REQUIRES MUCH TRANSITIONING TO THE CURRENT CHOSEN MEDIUM...OPENING IT UP AND MANY MORE OPTIONS, MORE EXCITING VISUALS THAN AS A STAGE PLAY. ALSO, KNOWING WHAT I DO NOW, ABOUT HOW THE TRADE PAPERS LIKE THE BILLBOARDS OF EVENTS YET TO COME, I WONDER HOW TRUTHFUL ANY OF IT IS...AND THE AMOUNT OF TREASON INVOLVED BETWEEN EAST AND WEST COAST AND THE CONTRIVED WAR BETWEEN SINGLE UNMARRIED WOMEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE MARRIED WHOSE HUSBANDS OR MEN OF INTEREST FEEL THREATENED BY A WOMAN SUCH AS MYSELF. INDEPENDENT THEY WILL SAY TO A FAULT...A "BITCH" NOT THE APPROPRIATE HUE...A HISTORY OF BEDDING MEN NOT BASED ON ANYTHING MORE THAN A SPONTANEOUS ATTRACTION AT THE TIME, WHICH, WAS MUTUALLY ACCEPTABLE. MAYBE IT WAS TOO MUCH ENERGY MISDIRECTED IN SOME CASES... BUT THE ONES THAT I HADN'T SAID "YES" TO THAT LED TO ME CALLING THE POLICE I RECALL AN INCIDENT WHEN I WAS PERFORMING IN A PLAY AT JOE PAPP'S PUBLIC THEATRE, "X HAS NO VALUE" I HAD A MINOR ROLE BUT STILL IT WAS THRILLING TO ME BEING ON STAGE PERFORMING...AND THE COSTUME WAS PLENTY HOT, IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE... TWO MINOR CAST MEMBERS HAD ESCORTED ME BACK TO MY APARTMENT AND FOR SOME REASON SHORTLY AFTER ARRIVING, ONE STARTED GIVING ME ORDERS, TELLING ME TO CLEAN HIS BOOTS, OR SOMETHING AS SILLY AS THAT...AND THE OTHER ONE WAS ENCOURAGING HIM AND THEY WERE BECOMING AGGRESSIVE AND I DID CALL THE POLICE MY HEART POUNDING FURIOUSLY AND THE BULLIES WERE ESCORTED OUT OF THE BUILDING... OFTEN THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS FOREPLAY, OH NO, THEY WOULD JUST MOUNT ME AND DO WHAT THEY CAME THERE TO DO...IT WAS AMAZING TO ME AND I WOULD HAVE TO TRY AND PUSH SOME OF THEM AWAY AND THEY WERE STRONGER SO I WOULD BECOME LOUD AND VOCAL TO GET THEM TO LEAVE ME ALONE...AND I BELIEVE THAT PERHAPS MANY WOMEN ENDURED THE SAME KIND OF ATTACKS... BUT THERE WERE AND ARE SOME GOOD MEN, AND I LIKE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE FOR THE MOST PART...YET, SOMETIMES THEY ARE FRIGHTENING, JUST PERHAPS AS I AM TO THEM...NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO, SO OK, LET'S F--K BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING BETTER TO DO LOTS OF CASUAL SEX IN THE 60'S AND I OFTEN FELT THAT I HAD BEEN AN EXPERIMENT WHEN MY AUNT FRAN WAS CONSIDERATE ENOUGH TO BRING ME THE PRESCRIPTION OF THE BIRTH CONTROL PILL WHICH WAS A TAX WRITE OFF BY THE WAY...WHICH GAVE ME TREMENDOUS FREEDOM OF HAVING "FREE SEX" WITH NO CHANCE OF AN UNWANTED PREGNANCY...SOMETHING THAT MANY PAST GENERATIONS OF WOMEN DIDN'T HAVE THE PRIVILEDGE OF EXPERIENCING. I WOULD IMAGINE IT IS DIFFICULT FOR MEN TO FATHOM SEXUAL FREEDOM, BECAUSE FOR THEM IT WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE...THEY DON'T GET PREGNANT...SO WHEN A KIND MAN COMES ALONG AND STANDS UP FOR YOUR HONOR...MORE THAN ANYTHING, BE GRATEFUL, BECAUSE, HE IS TRULY A FRIEND AND RARE INDEED. ******** I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO DIRECTING A FULL LENGTH MOVIE WHICH BY NOW YOU KNOW WITH MERYL STREEP PRODUCING. I RECALL WHEN SHE HAD MENTIONED THE BLACK ACTRESS VIOLA DAVIS'S NAME, AND I CAN RECALL SEEING THE SCENE WHERE VIOLA DAVIS APPEARED IN THE FILM THE TITLE ESCAPES ME IT HAD ALSO BEEN A PLAY DEPICTING THE HIPOCRACY OF RELIGION SPECIFICALLY IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH...THE SCENE WAS OUTSIDE, AND THEY HAD SNOT COMING OUT OF VIOLA'S NOSE MIXED WITH THE TEARS AND I WONDERED TO MYSELF WHO HAD DIRECTED IT THAT WAY, WAS IT NECESSARY TO MAKE THE SCENE WORK? I DON'T THINK SO, BUT THAT AND MORE WERE SOME OF THE SABOTAGES THAT I HAD ENDURED, I RECALL A FRIEND CALLING ME AFTER I HAD DONE THE FILM, "BROTHER ON THE RUN" AND SHE SAID, "GWEN, DID YOU SEE WHAT YOU LOOKED LIKE?" I FELT LIKE TELLING HER I HAD NO ONE TO DO MY MAKE UP AND HAIR, AND THE WARDROBE WAS MY OWN...BUT I DIDN'T MENTION THOSE THINGS BECAUSE I FIGURED IT WAS LIKE PUTTING FAMILY BUSINESS IN THE STREET...I KNOW THAT'S LAUGHABLE COMING FROM ME, BECAUSE I FIND VERY LITTLE SACRED TO THE EXTENT THAT IT CANNOT BE REVEALED...BECAUSE IT MIGHT JUST HAPPEN TO HELP SOMEONE OUT THERE, A WORD, A PHRASE THAT MAKES SENSE TO SOMEONE OTHER THAN MYSELF...(I WAS SUDDENLY BLOCKED FROM CONTINUING MY BLOG AT THE LA COUNTY LIBRARY IN WEST HOLLYWOOD...CLAIMING THAT "EVERYONE WAS BEING KICKED OFF THE INTERNET"...THEY USE FIREFOX AS OPPOSE TO EXPLORER...SO THAT TOO IS ANOTHER WAR GOING ON... AND THE LIBRARIAN LOOKS SOMEWHAT FAMILIAR A PERFORMER PERHAPS...PAYING HIS DUES...WHO KNOWS ALL I KNOW THAT I AM NOT RECEIVING MY ACTING PENSION, NOR AM I RECEIVING THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF MY SOCIAL SECURITY...AND ALL HUE ARE GUILTY...ALL RELIGIONS...AND MOST OF THE WOMEN AND OR MEN WITH CHILDREN DO NOT BELONG TO THEM, THEY ARE BEING SUPPLIED I ALLEEGE BY THE AVILA CHILDREN'S SERVICES ON FOUNTAIN... AM I THE ONLY WOMAN BESIDES MY MOTHER THAT ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH CHILD BIRTH...AND OF COURSE WE KNOW THE DEVILISH CHURCH AND ALL RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS ARE IN BACK OF IT... (THIS BLOG WAS ENDED YESTERDAY, SUNDAY, JANUARY 10TH, 2016 AT THE LA COUNTY LIBRARY AND FROM THE ACTIONS I'VE OBSERVED THEY ARE CULPABLE IN THIS DECEIT BY FOREIGNERS WHO COME HERE TO SHIT ON AMERICAN INGENUITY, CREATIVITY, CLAIMING IT AS THEIR OWN AS THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO DO, AND HAVE ALREADY SUCCEEDED IN SOME CASES OF PLAGARIZING MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES AND ATTEMPTING TO STEAL MY REAL ESTATE AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY LEGAL RIGHT TO DO SO... JUST GO BACK TO THE PRESIDENTS EACH AND EVERYONE, AND SEE THE POLICIES MANDATED AT THE TIME...WHEN BLACKS COULDN'T OWN REAL ESTATE BECAUSE THEY WERE CONSIDERED NOT TO BE 100% HUMAN...YOU'VE GOT DOPES IN THE WHITE HOUSE, CONGRESS, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, AND SENATE...AND YOU WONDER WHY EVERYTHING HAS BEEN ROTTING TO THE CORE... UNTIL I CAME ALONG WITH MY GLOBAL PLAN...REMEMBER IT WAS OPRAH AND OBAMA WHO TOGETHER COLLECTED THE ALLEGED NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, AND THE PERSON PROVIDING IT SEEMED AS LOST IN SPACE AS ANYONE I HAD SEEN... VERY SIMILAR TO THE ALLEGED SUPREME COURT JUDGE WHO SWORE IN OBAMA WHO DELIBERATELY OR MISTAKINGLY DIDN'T GIVE THE PROPER WORDING FOR OBAMA BEING SWORN IN... SINCE ALL HUE ARE GUILTY, ALL NETWORKS, PUBLISHERS, RELIGOUS FACILITIES, ETC. ETC. ETC. ALL ATTEMPTING TO SNATCH EVERYTHING THAT I RIGHTFULLY EARNED, MY RETIREMENT FUNDS, TD WATERHOUSE IS MOST CULPABLE IN REGARDS TO THAT ALONG WITH TED DANSEN, WHOOPIE GOLDBERG, AND A CAST OF MILLIONS WHO RESENTED THAT I HAVE WORKED SINCE THE AGE OF THIRTEEN, AND NOW THAT I AM 73 THEY FEEL I SHOULD NOT ENJOY THE MANY ACCOLADES THAT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE, OR THE SO CALLED MONEY DUE ME FOR ALLEGEDLY MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES HAVING BEEN PURCHASED...
