Crazy guy on a bridge in Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas
I saw a photo today of facing apartment buildings today that reminded me of being at a party in NY in about 1978. It was in Soho, or maybe Tribeca. A very nearby building contained an attractive, fit couple having sweet and inventive sex on their bed next to a wall to wall window. Naturally many party goers were perched in our own window watching the show. Most people would assume this was just my usual exaggeration...but even KeeKee would vouch for this one. She was there. So--and this is a cool NYC story--this sex scene happened at my friend Tom Farrell's pad. I worked with him at a publisher in the village. Anyhow, we both loved Wim Wenders' An American Friend. And he swore he would get to Wenders somehow and write for him. He split from our job. Like a year and a half later, maybe less, we saw him as the memorable "Crazy fucker on the bridge" in Wenders' Paris, Texas. He was in five other Wenders films I just found out via IMDB.
