Those were the days my friend. 1975 – I was the editor of two papers in Lakefield / Bridgenorth. One day I drove into Toronto to sit in on a Hollywood presser at (as I recall) the Sutton Place Hotel. Red Hot director Peter Bogdanovich and equally Red Hot actress Cybill Shepherd were in town to promote their new musical comedy At Long Last Love. Was suppose to be her Bofo follow-up to her 4 star film, Daisy Miller. At Long Last Love was a flop even before it hit theatres. Movie plotline self described it as the story of “four socialite old friends unexpectedly clash, and switch partners during a party and attempt to make each other jealous.”
Bogdanovich was a great interview, even put up with one dumb question from me. Cybill Shepherd came down from her room late, looked at the half filled room from the elevator and promptly returned to her suite! A no show. I went back to Lakefield with half a page of notes and theis (now badly faded) picture in my camera. btw – At Long Last Love starred Cybill Shepherd, Burt Reynolds, Madeline Kahn and Duilio Del Prete.
Still cleaning out my old school files. Ryerson Eyeopener, probably fall 1975 Roxy Music at Massey Hall. Andy Mackay – Sax, Oboe & Keyboards. I developed my own pictures back in the day, Now 46 years later the print is showing how badly I screwed up mixing the fixer. I wrote “Roxy Music” on the bottom of the picture for the paste up of the paper before it got sent to the printer
Dancing in the Tweets – cleaning out my arts and entertainment files from my days with the Ryerson Eyeopener. 45+ years ago – Martha Reeves performing in Toronto, Picture probably taken at the late great Yonge Street’s Colonial Tavern.
