So this is one of many Epic nights I’ve had the privilege of having. ... It happened in my original city of NYC which still is a a fabulous place for spotanenous parties.
I am there because I was involved with a Theatre Company that boasts some of the biggest names you know and see on screen /stage all time. We were all there for a Benefit reading of a now (very famous Writer/Director). The party was non -disclosed until I had my conversation with an actor and he essentially brought me and my friends/entourage to an iconic Playwrights loft with people and celebrity that spanned the spectrum... We still talk about it and though some are no longer here.. it was a night to remember .
In the effort to keep it tight- the players that night are as follows:
Mr 1) Flirty Former A list TV actor from several network shows. He was also a leading male in a cult fave film(one of mine anyway).He was single at the time or dating that former foreign born MTV personality.They married and It didn’t last and I know why-(he’s a flirt) yet he’s the reason we were invited to The Iconic playwrights apartment (killer pad btw). We chatted and I said “so you going to ———/////party ? He said yeah ! Follow us in a cab. We did (naturally) He’s a flirt.
Probably why they not together/divorced.
We arrived Man2)There we were greeted by the charming and very gracious Permanent A list playwright-his most notable work was likely that amazing piece adapted to film starring the triple threat actor whose an A list Dick and America’s Sweetheart for awhile.... Prelude to downfall.
Man3) a very mysterious looking young guy with good looks and a bohemian cap. You know him now from both film/tv (and Theatre if you run in those circles)and he is an excellent actor. Had a High profile relationship and now has kids.This night he was an up and comer starving actor and we connected. Exchanged numbers and had dinner/dates in the future -but I had no idea how far he would go ,just knew he called me post party from a Brooklyn number where he was crashing and asked me to dinner(I declined). We met not long ago but he was with the female1) foreign born A list AA nominee still and I didn’t take that Vespa ride.
Next person to walk in was Man3)an Actor(working on his Directorial film debut. He was coming off a hugely successful film where he got the attention he never got from his TV show or even his famous mom/dad. Talented guy., but lacks in the personality department. That’s “just reality”.Love the 90s It film he was in with the former It girl as well as the film he was in process of directing... it was shooting in NYC and he showed with that fabulous actress from an acting family who is/was extremely shy, and very humble. We talked about her son. Her work, her family and the party that was unfolding around in us which seemed bigger life. Grew more so when
Man 4) walked in with then fiancée.I had met him as he was on the Artistic Board of these same theatre folks, and he was always guarded., but charismatic. Liked his drink, his — well that.
Iconic family, unfortunate destiny. The night was just beginning
