In Three Words...
Rex Reed
A funny story I recalled with Rex Reed's passing this week. One of the clan, Preston, about ten years back was out one night getting heavily cruised by Mr Reed, And I wouldn't blame Mr. Reed, because Preston is very easy on the eyes with many redeemable assets. As it was told to me, after some time, Rex came up to him, copped a few feels, and invited him home, to which Preston declined. Of course, being young, Preston had no clue it was. Had I been present I would have thrown myself to the wolf.

ReplyDeleteAh, so THAT's where I remember the name from - that very 'iffy' film with Raquel Welch as MyrA - at the time seeming (to me then) so sexy - and Rex Reed, to me so sexLESS!

ReplyDeleteMade many enemies.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't 3 words but have you read his obituary by Merin Curotto in The Observer? So well done; lovely writing. I didn't even know he had died until I saw your post.
ReplyDeleteNow I have not seen it yet. Should I seek it out? I'm curious to know if it was glowing or scathing? I know he was not very well liked by many, and loved by others.
DeleteI enjoyed reading it b/c it gave both a personal and professional side of him (she was his editor and friend). Agree: people seemed to love him or hate him, no in-between. But this was a very honest, actually touching obituary. And I always appreciate a well-written obit. I remember sitting w/my grandmother and watching RR on the Mike Douglas show; that's how old I am.
DeleteI admit to enjoying some good snark myself!!!!
DeleteMr Myron Breckinridge!
ReplyDeleteWhen he was younger, I'd have done him, too. Jx
