NATASHA [taking off her shirt]:Look, I'm absolutely naked,
I have become one long face,
that's how I get into the bathtub.
-Alexander Vvedensky 1931.
and he did, see second half of video below:-
Check out the two-finger salute AND the goalkeeper's posing pouch. Sheedy was always described as having a sweet left foot, as if it alone would wine, dine and bed the ladies with its crossing and set-piece abilities. As if it could dextrously (sinisterly) alight the fire of sexual symphonia in the clattering basins of human predonda. Hillary, the family Sheedy doth perumpt me to quip, how bout how I was so much younger then, hand how unforkly I'm older than that new.
As was Ally Sheedy, who was pally not needy, 22/23 at time of BC, already a published author and journalist and who had failed an audition for Ringwald's part in Sixteen Candles, where she had turned up with two black eyes. She also later turned down Kelly McGillis's part in Top Gun, and became addicted to sleeping pills during a relationship with a Bon Jovi guitarist.
Anthony Michael Hall coits on Ally Sheedy- "Ally had such an aura. She loves books, old music, Bob Dylan [see]. At the time [BC filming], she was a big fan of Edie Sedgwick and the whole Warhol period. She was kind of ahead of herself in her eclectic palette of tastes. Ally, to this day, is like an older sister to me" [all this from the book Brat Pack Confidential].
But Anthony MH himself had the most mamazing development. From the geek and the nerd, he became the bully and the fug (later nonentity on SF channel) in many films, as soon as 1990's Edward Scissorhands. I feel a great kinship to this pattern (minus nonentitial), the parital path of another hero, Morrissey slightly, to beefcake bruiser.
Everybody loves chocolate, and the distance from tip of chin to tip of nose, is a challenge to the best of us, hungry hungry hippos borne back ceaselessly into repaste. And Mildred had a cute face, but was no actress, so what beans, Mr Beans?
