WOW.
So much in this...
Le Dome looks like it closed in 2007.
Clementine's; I'd heard this before but hadn't looked it up. Not much out there on this place. It is interesting that it appears there was one in Beverly Hills, as well as one in Palo Alto. I wonder if she began working at the one in BH because she was familiar with the one in PA.
I'd never heard her described as "inattentive" as a teenager before.
I liked the bit about her keeping a guitar at the foot of her bed. I wonder if she still does that.
I didn't know the sequence of events from early meetings to LB finally quitting. The bits of the interview with her that the article opened with, describing her semi-circular, ivory leather couch...and her storming around her art-nouveau decorated mansion were fascinating.
I didn't know SN was a Judy Collins fan.
Good long read here. THANK YOU OP.
