My Idol John Simon
 

Here's John with the executive director of the Tennessee Williams Society at a 2003 function.

And here's John talking to a nice lady actress at the same event.

John really livened up the proceedings at the panel discussion.

If you invite John to your literary club events, make sure to put out the best wine & spirits you have.

I wasn't sure if he was still alive or not .I remember laughing so hard I could barely sit up when reading his reviews of Barbra Streisand films ,some of the most vitriolic I have ever seen from a major film critic .I'm not a big fan of Babs acting ,but he was over the top and off the hook.:lol: He also called Liza Minelli a perfect menage et trois of no looks .speaking voice or acting ability.Always an entertaining and interesting read.

I hate it when NPR covers the Tennessee Williams Society function on the following Sunday morning. Nothing worse than having a nice, deep sleep interrupted by shouts of "STELLA, STELLA."
