Hey Maxine!!
This is great!! Marilyn told me about you that you can write from Spirit, so I thought I’d give it a go!! I’d like to tell you about my life in Hollywood, it was crazy, so many disappointments to start with, then the fame came!
Most of us were young and raring to go, we didn’t care about how many roles we tried for- we always knew one picture breakthrough could be the start of something big! Mine was a movie I made when I was around 27. It was my first big break and from there on things just snowballed. We were put under contract and had to make so many pictures a year. I met Walter Matthau and we did “The Odd Couple” I was on my way- and a big name in movies!!
When we made “Some Like it Hot” there were many upsets while filming. Tony just couldn’t get on with Marilyn. He found her method and late time keeping too much. The movie was a great success and we never looked back. Some of the greats are here with me, James Cagney, Merna Loy, Judy, Ethel- lots of musicians- we rehearse and make films everyday in Spirit!!
I’d like you to know that this is the most fun I’ve had since I passed. I will be telling some of my buddies to drop in!! I have really loved coming to write, I will come again, and again!!
Keep writing until the next time.
Jack
