For anyone who likes noir & who likes to read, Cornell Woolrich's novels are wonderful. I had never heard of him 'til I bought a battered copy of "The Black Path of Fear" for a quarter at a thrift store. His writing is like a drug to me.

I miss being able to tune into Johnny Carson & see Truman Capote in one of his fabulous hats. I miss that old game show that had Kitty Carlyle & Orsen Bean. I miss the Jackie Gleanson show(from Miami Beach)& the June Taylor Dancers.

I saw Trumane Capote, complete with hat, in Trader Vic's when it was in the basement of the Plaza Hotel here in NYC many moons ago (late 70s). I think the game show may be "To Tell the Truth", but they may have done more than one together, possibly "What's my Line. Kitty Carlysle is still alive. A friend of mine was in a play with her about 3 years ago. Shes in her 90s and looks great. I also love The Great One, I remember those shots from above of the JT Dancers that looked like kaleidascopes.
