DEAD IN HOLLYWOOD: NATALIE WOOD

Two years ago, on Natalie Wood’s deathiversary, I did a Natalie Wood slideshow at the Pool Gallery. We projected the slides on the bottom of the pool. It was freezing, but so worth it! You can read more about the slideshow in the upcoming issue of DEAD IN HOLLYWOOD: HERE LIES NATALIE WOOD (Issue #18). A companion piece of sorts to DEAD IN HOLLYWOOD: NATALIE WOOD (Issue #8).

COMING ATTRACTIONS: ALL ROADS LEAD TO DEAN.

Today is the 65th deathiversary of James Dean, who died in a car crash on a lonely stretch of highway five hours north of Los Angeles in Cholame, CA. I’m sitting here tonight working on my upcoming fanzine ALL ROADS LEAD TO DEAN (Issue #30) which will focus on my road trip to Dean’s death site in 2018. I was on my way to the San Franciso Zine Fest and wanted to retrace Dean’s death drive. Lucky for me, I made it to my final destination. As we all know, Dean wasn’t so lucky. I have so many great photos and stories that will be in the fanzine, so stay tuned. Until then, CLICK HERE for DEAD IN HOLLYWOOD: JAMES DEAN (ISSUE #6).
