Jesus Christ Superstar!
One of Mother’s London boyfriends, a TV producer named Herb Sargent, swept us all off to a Wings concert one night, and Robbie and I sat in the booth. We didn’t get to meet Sir Paul (Mother did), but we did get to meet Ted Neeley, who we recognized as super cute Jesus in the film of “Jesus Christ Superstar”. We had only played the record a million times, so it was a huge thrill for us!
Just a week until Mother’s Day and look what Amazon suggests when you ask for a gift!
Grateful to be in such wonderful company!
From Kansas City to Versailles in one blog post!
A much quicker version of my mother, Georgann Rea’s journey from Iowa orphanage to Kamsas City Plaza dweller to Minneapolis actor’s wife to Dakota dwelling Broadway Producer’s wife to wealthy American Divorcee in London! Thirty years from there to here and in ten more she’d be broke again.
Here we are on an ASL trip to Versailles. Note the crazy 70s styling.
My grandfather, William McAdams…
Minneapolis Summers…
This is Lilo Blum…
She was the owner of Lilo Blum’s Stables just off Hyde Park in London. Caroline and John Kennedy rode there as did their cousins the Radziwills and Zsa Zsa Gabor and Topol and many others. She was a feisty older lady when I was a girl in London. While Mother was off spending her giant divorce settlement, I worked for Lilo grooming horses, mucking out stalls and leading tourists on horseback through the park in exchange for time on a horse. I was crazy about horses then. There’s a hilarious story about me and a group of young Saudis that didn’t make the final edit of Chanel Bonfire. I’ll post it on the blog soon. But in the meantime, here’s a story about Lilo from The Age in 1972 right about the time I was there.
