Olivia de Havilland & Montgomery Clift “The Heiress” (1949)

-Interviewer: What was Montgomery Clift like to work with?

-Olivia de Havilland: “Naughty. It was his second picture. Red River had not yet been released, but people had seen it and knew he was marvelous in it. So he came to play Morris Townsend in The Heiress. He had a Polish lady friend who was apparently a highly respected coach, a theater coach, a very talented woman, and she would be in back of the stage. He would work out every one of his scenes with the Polish lady. I knew that when he was working with me, he wasn’t working with me at all. He was working with the Polish woman in our scenes together. It was most peculiar, but I decided I’ve got to make use of this in some fashion, and I managed psychologically to do that, because in fact, the character of Morris Townsend really is giving a performance. So I was able to get around that psychologically, but when we would finish a scene, he would look up to see whether she nodded. If she didn’t, he would say, “Can we do the scene again?” This wasn’t fun for me. It wasn’t fun for anyone, and it certainly wasn’t for William Wyler, a very distinguished man, as the director of the film.“

Yeah, audiences aren’t flocking to your niche show on the goddamn CW because they are too thick to understand a musical comedy

Honestly just STOP

A minha loucura está escondida de medo embaixo da minha cama Ou dançando em cima do meu telhado E eu estou sentado serenamente na minha poltrona Escrevendo este poema sobre ela.

Rare photos of Marianne Faithfull backstage (with guitarist Jon Mark in the bottom photo) at the Olympia in Paris by Michael Lawrence | 1965

Special thanks to Michael for allowing me to share his photos of Marianne. He started out in the 1960s and has chronicled all of his artistic endeavours from photography to writing on his website Atelier 9. If you are interested in the Swinging Sixties you might want to check out his memoir “Milking The Novelty” available in e-format and print.
