FROZEN  COLD

Quote for Today  - March 11,  2011


"I have, in my seventy-three years of life, rubbed elbows with a great many celebrities, both in politics and in the arts. I have seen many players become hot and then stop being hot. To those who, overnight, become white-hot, as Peter did, any cooling is unwelcome. Indeed, so powerful is the rush of being white-hot that those who are enjoying that status lose all sense that they might someday be cool. Or worse, cold; or, worse still, frozen."

Larry McMurtry in his book, Hollywood, page 40. He's talking about Peter Bogdanovich whom he worked it - for example, in the movie, The Last Picture Show. The book is a good read if you like movies and what goes into them - especially script writing. This comment begins Chapter 14. Confer, Hollywood, A Third Memoir, Simon & Schuster, New York, 2010.
