Peace of Mind is attainable, Happiness visits at its convenience.
I remember having a word with one of the check-in children at Chasen’s the very evening you refer to.
Poor thing had no idea who Courtney Love was, never mind Amanda de Cadenet. “She’s Kurt Cobain’s widow,” I whispered. “She’s definitely on the list, or should be.”
“Oh. Thanks,” she replied and admitted them both.
In all fairness to the check-in person, both Courtney and Amanda had counter-programmed their outfits, hair and makeup for the evening, as you note.
“The glamour of sadness” - fuck, yes. Hollywood fed my ego and starved my soul.
Particularly beautiful today. Thank you for sharing these intimate memories.
Lots of hard-won insight here.

I loved that “Kinderwhore” look!
Nick was a great friend and a good guy. I loved him.
Thank you for this bit of memoir. I find it inspiring, plus Jessica Lange is one of my top five favorite actors.
So beautiful.
