Blind Item #8 - A Reader Blind Item
The year was 1989.
It was my birthday and a girlfriend
decided to take me to that famous LA underground club
that changed locations weekly.
We got there, I in my sky blue skin tight mini dress
and hair up to here, innocent and unknowing as to what
the evening would hold.
I was immediately adopted by this 24 year old grandson
of a very famous studio head who was already gone but
still remains extremely well known to this day.
He reminded me of the singer of REM. Ha. He made sure to
tell everyone I was "legal" so naturally every single
person had to buy me a drink.
I was not a drinker.
He then asked me if I was interested in going to the VIP
room. Why not, so he grabbed my hand and off we went
upstairs.
He asked which VIP room I wanted to go in. I asked what
the difference was. He said there were two film wrap
parties so I said whichever one seems more fun and let
him decide (here's me from OC with zero idea.)
Room #1 had the weirdest conglomeration of famous people.
The film was horror, complete with a monster. It starred
a famous ballet dancer.
I was offered drugs by almost everybody, I was rather
shocked but I declined because I didn't do them. A
older man who was famous for quite a few TV/films in
the 60s was there, he was not doing drugs and offered
to share his pizza with me so I did. We chatted and ate
and had a great time.
Until I went to the bathroom. Nobody warned me that was
where the harder stuff was, and the weirdos. The guy
who played the monster swore I was in the film, that
he had killed me in the last scene. I said no, not an
actress. A director overheard us and came over to ask
me if I was interested in acting. I said no. He gave me
his card anyway. My friend took it and tossed it LOL.
Then an actor famous for certain comedies back in the
70s bugged me to do coke with him. I again declined. I
think this again impressed my new friend who stayed by
my side and kept watch. Many people asked for an intro
but I still didn't even know who he was.
Soon the people in the room were asking me about myself,
my life, where I lived, etc. They were shocked I wasn't
in entertainment and had no desire to be and found my
boring life to be enthralling!
Crazy.
Soon my friend grabbed my hand and took me to the other
VIP room. This film that wrapped was much higher on the
success scale and had several of its costars present.
It was a comedy drama and had several memorable lines,
one of which I repeat to this day regarding licensing
for adult activities.
The room was more of the same, only there were several
people in there who were with same sex dates and I had
NO IDEA they were gay!!!! I am not going to out them
but it was very shocking, let me say.
Everybody was very nice to me because of my friend whom
someone had informed me who he was at the bar when he
stepped away. It didn't change anything for me, he was
near my age and was very nice to me and we were having
fun. He asked me if I was interested in being his date
for the premiere for this movie and I said why not. He
chuckled at me because I was not impressed in the people
postulating and more interested in talking about music
which he loved.
Soon we went back downstairs because the band started.
My friend said nothing about who was performing but when
we got there the guy onstage was wearing this weird
combination straitjacket/corset, lots of femme makeup, and
the performance was very dramatic. Not really my thing.
I had a guy I was interested in meet me at the club so
I said goodbye to my friend and set off for a romantic
adventure.
Hollywood is really freaking weird, and that was just
one memorable evening. The premiere is another story.
