Shots (subject to clase “ From pane 18 My friend and acting teacher, Sanford Meisner, and I'spent the evening that John F. Kennedy was elected, at the home of Clifford Odets with Warren and Joan (Collins) and Cary Grant. We watched the drama untold on TV. Warren’s tiberal sentiments were clear. He welcomed the result and demonstrated much savvy regarding the polit- ical process. Grant was upset. He had voted tor Nixon. He opined, “Now we'll have a war!” None of us could figure out why he felt thar way. He lingered quietly in the shadows most of the evening. Years hater, Warren had wanted the debonair Grant for his Heaven Can Wait. Grant declined. Warren had to sertle for James Mason, instead. For vears, Warren chose to reside in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel Penthouse. During an encounter there, I asked him, “ How’s Afickey One?”(A picture he had just made with Arthur Penn). “Mickey Mouse!” he immediately retorted, clearly disappointed i in the picture, but already moving on with a positive vision of what was to come, Later, he believed in Bonnie and Clde so much, that he actualiy fell to his knees before the mighty Jack Warner, bowed repeatedly and literal- ly begged him to green light the project (with Arthur Penn as director). “Get off the floor, kid,” said an embarrassed Warner. “You've got your money!” ‘Arather unstable friend of mine had written a powerfui, but overblown | script called, Winner Take All. 1 wanted to help him, so, at some point, between Lilith and Kaleidoscope (or i later, don’ t recall), I inspired Warren’s interest in it. .- L would bring him various drafts, he would critique. “I really like it, but not “in this form” — very sharp, discrim nating mind. We could never fashion it to his liking, Although excited by the prospect of having his screenplay produced and starred in by Beatty, he was inflexible. Interest waned. He eventually blew : his own brains out. ". Lwould occasionally run into Warren and julie Christie at parties. Later, I provided Julie with an astrological consultation. Heaven Can Wait had just wrapped. She was “finished” with Warren and not impressed with the picture. “Her choices were to remain in Hollywood, or return to her native: England. v ~..
