Tonight we watched "Julia" with Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave, a tight, engrossing movie about Lillian Hellman and her friend Julia. I won't get into the veracity of the story, but I would like to mention my own personal incident concerning Lillian Hellman. At the conclusion of the movie, I remembered where I was when I heard that she had died!
In the summer of 1984 I was driving on 42nd St. in Crystal, Minnesota when I heard a tribute to her on Minnesota Public Radio. I was a block west of the Post Office.
I also remember where I was when I heard Jack Kennedy was shot, Walt Disney died, Marshall Dodge the Maine storyteller died, about 9/11, and 54 million shares were traded on the New York Stock Exchange the day before.
BTW, what is your name again?
