“I used to go to Grauman`s Chinese or Pantages and sit there
waiting to see my faceless body on the screen.
Texas began to look awfully near and awfully good,
and “Clara Lou” had a sweet sound to my ears.”
She was born Clara Lou, hence the quote…
I am quite the 1930s housewife tonight. The casserole is in the oven, the washing up is done, my man is on his way home from the film set, all we need now is the pipe and slippers. I am enjoying the experience of cooking in the umpteenth abode of this project. Am loving the big wooden chopping board and Le Crueset saucepans in Sidney’s kitchen. But most of all am enjoying the view from the massive 10th floor kitchen window. The Millennium Wheel, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, Battersea Power Station and – when the sun goes down and the bedroom lights go on – everything that goes on in the block of flats opposite.
I have my favourite window to spy upon already. Tonight, my favourite couple are turning their mattress….
