PART ONE: Just the Facts
Her body was found in a small, but stylish two-room apartment in 57th Street, on the Ides of March, 1923. It was on the top floor of a five-story brownstone a few doors east of Carnegie Hall. Draped only in a loose-fitting yellow silk chemise [...]]]></description>

The brownstone in which Dot King died is of more than passing interest. In his memoirs, the great financier, Bernard Baruch, born in 1870, told of moving in 1881 with his family from South Carolina to 144 West 57th Street, where they holed up in a tiny attic room and were [...]]]></description>

The final twist in my recent flirtation with James Dean revolves around a grim episode in American history. It serves as a potent counterpart to our fascination with juvenile delinquents, which Dean epitomized. His allure lies also in the flip side of fame. His rebel without a cause was a two-edged sword. On one hand, [...]]]></description>

Every now and then, when I least expect it, I will stumble across a name that for some reason begins to pop up repeatedly, almost uncannily, in the books I&#8217;m reading at that moment. Very often it&#8217;s a name I am unfamiliar with up until then. Then suddenly there&#8217;s no escaping it! Such an occurrence [...]]]></description>

[NOTE: On hiatus in New York, researching a new project. Therefore, for the time being, I am resurrecting another older piece, this one about The Lodger, which seems very apt now since the new movie version by David Ondaatje, starring Simon Baker and Hope Davis, below, opens today.]

Today, a new DVD of The Picture of Dorian Gray, the fabled 1945 version starring Hurd Hatfield and a deliciously evil George Sanders, is being released by Warner Home Video. Besides offering a quality transfer, it includes a new audio commentary from film historian Steve Haberman and Angela Lansbury, who played Sibyl Vane, as well [...]]]></description>
