Roddy McDowall released several photography books entitled “Double Exposures” in which a photograph (he took) of a celebrity would appear on one page while a short essay written by a celebrity fan of the photographed celebrity appeared on the other; none of his subject knew who would write about them, thus Bette Midler was astonished to find the essay about her was written by a fan she didn’t know she had- Lord Laurence Olivier. ---

Kiss of the Spider Woman starred Raul Julia, an actor I loved deeply and mourn greatly–at least as much as one can mourn a movie star. [not in play] (I’ve already mentioned him once in this thread, for this rendition of Santa Lucia in Tequila Sunrise.) ---

Hmmm… not sure who I should be following, so I’ll cover all bases… Keying off “Spider”: One of Clint Eastwood’s earliest movie roles was an Air Force pilot dropping napalm on a giant spider, in “Tarantula.” Keying of “Boyle”: Cereal magnate John Harvey Kellogg was a character in “The Road to Wellvile” by T. Coraghessan Boyle. ---

Okay, reuniting the divisions: Anthony Hopkins, who played Dr. Kellogg in Road to Wellville, said that his animal inspirations for Hannibal Lecter included a [tarantula and a crocodile](http://www.theinsider.com/news/724176_Anthony_Hopkins_Based_Hannibel_Lecter_On_A_Crocodile). (I played Boyle off of blondebear’s Young Frankenstein, so they’re one again; for those not familiar, some actors use animals as inspirations [their gestures, personality, etc.] when ‘building a character’.) ---
