Ran into Dallas Film Society grand poobah Lee Papert tonight and he alerted all within earshot that Friday’s The Art of Film with “almost-a-local” Isabella Rossellini is nearing the done deal status.
Well, wonder why? Isabella and Gary Cogill chatting it up? There will be so many different topics to hit that guests might as well bring their sleeping bags because the talk may go way into the night.
And the surroundings won’t be shabby with walls of Andy Warhols watching the guests. Perhaps Marilyn Monroe will be looking over a shoulder? Or Mao Tse-tung looking just over your head? (Hint: If you don’t know any of the boldfacers mentioned in this graph, call up your history teacher and tell them that they failed you. That is, unless you skipped that semester.)
Whatever! Get your tickets if you love movies, want the scoop from Isabella, meet her daughter Elettra Wiedemann (aka Ingrid Bergman‘s grand daughter) or just want a cool night with film lovers of all ages.
Question: Is Gary gonna ask about the making of “Blue Velvet”? He’d better.
