![]() ![]() But the people saying that probably never read Photoplay and thought about what flavor ice cream Elizabeth Taylor liked. Jaded people advised me that being on a set was so boring, darling, because there’s all that standing around. ![]() So when my novel The Memoirs of Cleopatra was slated to be turned into an ABC-TV miniseries, nothing could have kept me away from the set. My innocence gradually faded away but my fascination with movies, movie making, movie stars, and Hollywood never did. When I got older I was an avid consumer of fan magazines like Photoplay and Modern Screen, and even believed all the things I read in them! When they had an article about how Elizabeth Taylor’s favorite ice cream flavor was lime, I solemnly believed it was true. The first movie I ever saw was “King Kong.” I saw it lots and lots of times, because it played for almost a year before it got replaced by something about an island with an exploding volcano. When I was a little girl living in Taiwan, about the only air conditioned building on the island was the movie theater. All my life I’ve been enthralled with the movies. ![]()
