I've been looking for this photo for years, and I just had to show it off!
Actually, I have always claimed that this event occurred, but I have been lacking proof until now. This is a scan of a polaroid snapshot which was taken in early
1981 at Cindy William's house, high up in the Hollywood Hills. For those of you who are either too young or too culturally deprived to remember the "Laverne and
Shirley" TV show, Cindy played the character of Shirley Feeney. Some friends of mine, such as the since deceased star of the Addam's family movies, Raul Julia,
who played Gomez in the movie remakes of the original TV series (all of which were based on the famous cartoons by Charles Addams), along with Dalia Javier, a
Xoetrope Studios set designer, and Rock & Roller Robby Romero and I went to Cindy's house to celebrate her sister's birthday party when this picture was taken.
I struck up a conversation with Cindy about her art collection on display in her hallway and I even followed her into her bedroom for a moment. Looking back on it,
I often wonder whether Cindy might have been trying to interest me in a few other things as well, but I'm afraid I was a little too blown away by the whole evening to
figure it out. Robert de Niro made a brief appearance at the party as well. This evening was among the most memorable of my Hollywood experiences.
