Surreal Moments From My Life, Part 9000

Anouk Aimee.jpg
​
Several years ago at a French film luncheon, I was introduced to Anouk Aimee, the beautiful star of such classic art flicks as A Man and a Woman and 8 1/2.

I was thrilled to meet the woman because she'd made an impact on my cineastic history and she'd always seemed so glamorously aloof, as if even subtitles couldn't begin to demystify her.

But in person she was friendly and immediate.

"I know you!" Anouk beamed. "I saw you on The E! True Hollywood Story about Liza Minnelli!"

Surreal doesn't begin to describe it.

Fellini would have gagged.

I know your little story sounds like logrolling on our time, but as someone who has experienced the high of having a regular person (he cut my hair) tell me he read something of mine in a magazine put me over the moon. So congrats Mister Musto!!

This story is indeed surreal and quite beautiful. It should be made into a haiku.

I love that Anouk Aimee watches E! I wonder if Jeanne Moreau watches VH1.

I think it was in Billy Wilder's book - did he direct her in something - he said getting work out of her was as difficult as Marilyn, but without the results, i.e., that magic that came across in film of Marilyn was missing. He thought she was a creep!

Maybe it was George Cukor who said that. He worked with her in "Justine."
