#RIP: Actress, Margot Kidder
Margot Kidder, the actress best known for playing Lois Lane opposite Christopher Reeve in the original Superman films, has died.
The actress died at her home on Sunday, according to Franzen-Davis Funeral Home in Livingston, Montana.
Born in Canada, Kidder got her start in low-budget Canadian films and TV shows before landing a role in 1970’s Quackser Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx opposite Gene Wilder. She later appeared in Sisters, Robert Redford’s The Great Waldo Pepper and in the orginal The Amityville Horror.
For Margot
“I went all over town to 10 different florists to find the perfect one…“
She wanted to get THE perfect rose for her friend. It really WAS perfect.
Margot Kidder was 69.

Remembering Actor Margot Kidder in a Favorite Film, 1973’s “Sisters”
“Superman” (1978) via YouTube
Margot Kidder:
“I’m not choosy at all! I’ll do practically anything. I’m the biggest whore on the block. I live in a little town in Montana, and you have to drag me out of here to get to LA, so I’m not readily available. Unless it’s something sexist or cruel, I just love to work. I’ve done all sorts of things, but you just haven’t seen them because they’re often very bad and shown at 4 in the morning.”
As World of Wonder writer Trey Speegle noted earlier, we lost actor Margot Kidder on May 13. Speegle’s piece features a swell personal remembrance, and he also noted that Kidder is best known for playing Lois Lane in Superman (1978), and its sequels Superman II (1980) and Superman III (1983). She maintained a deep friendship with her Superman co-star Christopher Reeve until his death in 2004.
The smoky voiced Kidder portrayed smart, indomitable characters, while she also struggled with addiction and bipolar disorder. In 1996, she made tabloid news when she suffered a breakdown and disappeared for four days. When police finally found her battered and bruised in Glendale, she was hiding in the bushes behind a house. After Kidder recovered from that incident, she became an outspoken advocate for mental health awareness.
Aside from the Superman trilogy, here are Ten Kidder Films worth noting:
Gaily, Gaily (1969), a sweet, gentle comedy film directed by Norman Jewison, based on the autobiographical novel by Ben Hecht (The Front Page), Kidder stars with Beau Bridges, Brian Keith, and Hume Cronyn.
Black Christmas (1974), is a Canadian horror film directed by Bob Clark, it’s a standard issue slasher flick about sorority sisters who are stalked and murdered during the holiday season by a killer hiding in their sorority house, made special by the off-kilter performances of Kidder and Andrea Martin and eye-candy Keir Dullea and John Saxon.
The Reincarnation Of Peter Proud (1975), horror American style with juicy Michael Sarrazin in the title role, along with Jennifer O’Neill (Summer Of ’42).
On The Other Hand, Death (2008), a gay-themed mystery film, the third film adaptation of a Richard Stevenson novel featuring fictional gay detective Donald Strachey. The film was screened at several LGBTQ film festivals, before going into rotation on the here! television network.
Kidder worked frequently in horror films; The Amityville Horror (1979) features Kidder and James Brolin as a real-life couple who purchase a haunted home where a mass murder had been committed the year before. It was a major commercial success, grossing over $80 million ($300 million in 2018 dollars), making it one of the highest-grossing independent films of all time.
Heartaches (1981) is a road trip comedy with Annie Potts and Robert Carradine; Willie & Phil (1980) is a counterculture comedy written and directed by Paul Mazursky starring Kidder and hottie Michael Ontkean.
Pygmalion (1983) is a critically acclaimed made-for-Showtime adaptation of the George Bernard Shaw play starring and produced by Kidder with Peter O’Toole as Professor Henry Higgins.
Crime And Punishment (2002) is with Vanessa Redgrave in an adaptation of the Fyodor Dostoyevsky novel.
My favorite Kidder film is Sisters (1973), the movie that defined Brian De Palma‘s career, and where she plays twins! De Palma had been making films since the mid-1960s. His earliest movies were a series of strange, hippy comedies, but Sisters marked De Palma’s first major step in the Hitchcockian mode that would figure so strongly in his career for the rest of the 1970s and into the 1980s. It would be an oversimplification to dismiss Sisters as a just another Alfred Hitchcock homage; Sisters is stranger and much more intriguing than that. It is more like Hitchcock had died while directing a film from a screenplay by David Cronenberg, and then David Lynch took over to complete the project.
Sisters was produced by American International Pictures, the studio known for its exploitation flicks, many of them Roger Corman productions. The sickeningly sensational Sisters was influenced by De Palma watching surgeries conducted by his doctor father, and inspired by reading an article about Russian conjoined twins in Life Magazine.
Drawing directly on Hitchcock’s Rear Window and Rope, it opens with two main characters meeting on a television game show titled ”Peeping Tom”, a reference both to the great Michael Powell psychological thriller from 1960, and to the act of voyeurism, a favorite De Palma subject. It features a gripping score by Hitchcock’s long-time collaborator Bernard Herrmann, who also wrote the music for De Palma’s Obsession (1976), a reworking of themes from Hitchcock’s Vertigo.

Mostly set on unfashionable Staten Island, Sisters features a major character stabbed to death in the first few minutes, troubled conjoined twins (Kidder), and the Hitchcockian figure of an intrepid amateur sleuth named “Grace Collier”, homage to Grace Kelly (Jennifer Salt), and a pinch of perverse psychiatry via Psycho. The succession of Hitchcock references stops just short irritating, while the use of the split-screen to show scenes from different angles and the elaborate tracking shots indicate the arrival of a new original film stylist forming his own approach.
De Palma was previously noticed for his counterculture comedies with Robert DeNiro: Greetings (1968) and Hi, Mom! (1970), so this nod to Hitchcock came out of leftfield when it was released in 1973. Sisters is a case of style surpassing substance. And what style. De Palma has a real gift for ratcheting tension, and those split-screen scenes are a wonder to behold.
Kidder absolutely shines assaying the distinct personalities of the separated French-Canadian conjoined twins, Danielle and Dominique. She had already done an earlier film opposite Gene Wilder, the spry Irish comedy Quackser Fortune Has A Cousin In The Bronx (1970) that demonstrates her versatility as an actor, but who knew she could pull this off?
Kidder dated former Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau (father of my boo, Justin Trudeau), De Palma, Steven Spielberg, and Richard Pryor. She was married and divorced three times: writer Thomas McGuane, the late John Heard in 1979 for only a week, and to French film director Philippe de Broca for a year in the early 1980s. Kidder became an American citizen in 2005 and was a supporter of Democratic and liberal causes throughout her career. She loved dogs, and after her marriages, she preferred the company of canines.

#RIP: Writer, Tom Wolfe
Photo by MoSchle from Wikimedia Commons
Tom Wolfe (1930-2018):
”A lie may fool someone else, but it tells you the truth: you’re weak.’‘
In the 1960s a bunch of new kind of writers grabbed readers attention: George Plimpton, Joan Didion, Truman Capote, Gay Talese, Norman Mailer, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tom Wolfe. They came to be labeled the ”New Journalists”. As one of the leaders of that group, Wolfe helped change the balance between fiction writers and writers of nonfiction. He was willing to submerge himself in a subject, and then borrow from the novelist’s technique of using dramatic dialogue, scene-by-scene construction, vivid characterization and shifting points of view. Plus, he made himself one of the characters in his nonfiction writing.
Wolfe brought a new style of reportage in his collection of essays The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby (1965); The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (1968), his account of the novelist Ken Kesey‘s experiments with LSD; and The Right Stuff (1979), about of the pilots who would become America’s first NASA astronauts. Wolfe even helped popularize the term ”New Journalism” itself with his publication essay collection that he titled New Journalism (1973), where he included his own writing alongside Capote, Didion and Thompson.
Born in Virginia, Wolfe attended Washington And Lee University, and became a reporter soon after graduating. He moved to Washington DC, and then NYC in 1962 to write for The New York Herald Tribune. He never left, living in the city with his wife Sheila Berger, an art director at Harper’s Bazaar, and their two children until his passing on May 14.
In 1962, during a newspaper strike, and on the verge of unemployment, he went looking for work. Esquire Magazine flew him to L.A. to write a piece on custom-made cars. On his return, his editor requested his notes on the topic for someone else to write the piece. Wolfe’s notes were 50 pages of insightful observations. The editor, Byron Dobell (1927 – 2017) wrote:
”It was like he discovered it in the middle of the night. Wherever it came from, it seemed to me to tap a strain of pure American humor that wasn’t being tapped. He didn’t sound like Capote or Lillian Ross … or anyone else.”
Esquire published Wolfe’s notes in their entirety. He found his writer voice and within a year, Wolfe had become a cult figure in the publishing world.
His writing is crammed with references to surface appearances, clothing styles, cultural trivia and commercial brand names. The minutiae of modern life not only fill his paragraphs but dominate the inner lives of his characters. According to Wolfe, deep down, people are petty, grasping, self-serving narcissists in love with their own images reflected in our culture.
I ate up his books, but for me, and many others, Wolfe was also noted for his iconic sartorial style, famously always wearing a three-piece white, bespoke suit, immaculately finished with a silk tie and a flamboyant printed pocket square. It was a look that Wolfe described as ”Neo-pretentious”. He had over 50 white suits, a nod to southern gentlemen (of which he was one).
Photo from Esquire via YouTube
The legend behind the suit has been seriously misconstrued. It was not an expression of Wolfe’s louche taste, in fact, it was quite the opposite. When he first worked at the Herald Tribune, Wolfe only owned two sports jackets, and the rules of 1960s publishing world dictated that gentlemen must wear suits to work, so he purchased one in white, and being too strapped for cash to do otherwise, Wolfe made the bold decision to wear it throughout winter as well as summer. He claimed:
”…it makes me look like a man from Mars, the man who didn’t know anything and was eager to know.”
He wrote tales of excess and status-seeking with a ruthless eye and unfettered energy. He would shadow his subjects over a long period of time, recording their observations in minute detail. Wolfe: “
”To pull it off, you casually have to stay with the people you are writing about for long stretches, long enough so that you are actually there when revealing scenes take place in their lives.”
Equally, his penchant for florid language was reflected in the romance of his clothing. Wolfe:
”You never realize how much of your background is sewn into the lining of your clothes.”
Wolfe wrote about American popular culture, politics and way of life, especially about how money shaped the country in the era of prosperity after WW II. The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, about the Hippy Movement, made him a bit of an authority on psychedelics.
His novel, Bonfire Of The Vanities (1987) was a huge bestseller with over three million copies in hardcover and paperback. It is a smart satirical look at greed in the Reagan era NYC, where bond trader Sherman McCoy ends up in court in the Bronx, after hitting a black man with his car. The novel features a range of immoral and amoral characters of the type you find in our current White House: greedy brokers, corrupt politicians, crooked lawyers, sensationalistic reporters, Russian hookers, and self-serving activists. It was serialized in Rolling Stone Magazine in 1984-85 with biweekly deadlines. Bonfire Of The Vanities adapted to a famously hated film in 1990.
His second novel, A Man In Full (1998) was also a bestseller. A third novel, I Am Charlotte Simmons (2004) received mixed reviews. For his fourth, Back To Blood (2012), Wolfe was paid an advance of $7 million.
Wolfe engaged in very public battles with his biggest critics: Mailer, John Updike, John Irving and Noam Chomsky, who he dubbed ”Noam Charisma”. In his essay My Three Stooges (2000), Wolfe took on Mailer, Updike and Irving:
”It must gall them a bit that everyone, even them, is talking about me, and nobody is talking about them.”
Wolfe leaves us with 18 books, 14 works of nonfiction and his four novels. He continued to write until recently, his last book is The Kingdom Of Speech (2016), a controversial commentary on Charles Darwin and Chomsky.
On a 2006 episode of The Simpsons, Lisa spots a man in a white suit and exclaims: ”It’s Tom Wolfe! He uses more exclamation points than any other major American writer!’‘ Cartoon Wolfe then launches into a dramatic introduction of the character known simply as ”Moe”:
”Ah, magnificent Moe. He stands, stoop-shouldered, blinking in the light, hollow-chested like a dough-faced fall guy who’s made a career of taking dives but has decided to get his manhood out of hock and take a shot at the title. Or at least go for the jaw and thwack! Hyper-extend the champ’s pterygoideus before kissing the mat good night.”
Wolfe introduced the terms “Statusphere”, “The Right Stuff”, “Radical Chic”, “The Me Decade”, and “Good Ol’ Boy”, into our lexicon. He is also partly responsible for the use of the present tense in magazine profile pieces; before he began doing so in the early 1960s, profile articles had always been written in the past tense.
Thinking of him today, I must say that I love the idea of sauntering through life in beautiful ivory blazers, hats, spats and walking stick, arguing about everything that seems too easy to leave un-argued. As Wolfe put it:
”If you are not having a fight with somebody, then you are not sure whether you are alive when you wake up in the morning.”
Esquire’s 80th is the terrific documentary film that explores how Esquire Magazine has explored the evolution of popular culture through its coverage of politics, war, fame, women, sports, technology, and style. On-camera commentators include many of the significant creators and subjects of the magazine including: writer Jay McInerney, designer George Lois, actors George Clooney and Mary-Louise Parker, football star Joe Namath, Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner, and other writers, celebrities, photographers and editors who have contributed to the magazine over 80 years, including Tom Wolfe.
Esquire’s 80th was the premiere broadcast event for NBC Universal’s Esquire Network, which launched in September 2013. The film is directed by World of Wonder founders Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, the award-winning directors/producers of documentaries such as: In Vogue: The Editor’s Eye (HBO), The Strange History Of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (HBO), and Inside Deep Throat (Universal), Mapplethorpe: Look At The Pictures (HBO), The Eyes Of Tammy Faye (Universal), and Party Monster (Picture This!).

#RoyalWedding: Meghan Markle’s Dad Won’t Walk Her Down the Aisle After All… (He’s Having Surgery)
Dad & baby Meghan (Photo, Instagram)
Markle’s Dad, Thomas Markle, had the bright idea to stage photos of himself getting ready for the Royal Wedding. Harper’s Bazaar reported that it was apparently NOT his idea but rather Meghan’s half-sister, Samantha Markle, appeared on the British talk show Loose Women to take the blame,
“I have to say I am entirely the culprit. I said, ‘You have to show the world you’re getting in shape.’ It was my suggestion. I don’t believe he was paid and if he was it was a pittance. I can understand it’s awkward for Kensington Palace.“
Well, it got seems of press around the globe and apparently, the Queen was not amused. According to the NY Post, her Royal Highness is “very angry” with Meghan’s dad for selling staged paparazzi photos of himself days before the royal wedding is “worried” about the father of the bride
“because of those photos.”
Markle lives in Mexico and secretly hired an LA-based paparazzo to take “candid” photos of him preparing for the big day, it was revealed this week. He was due to land in London this week, but announced he’s bowing out of the royal nuptials to avoid embarrassing his daughter. Then he changed his mind and said he would go.
And now he’s not going, but for more serious reasons. Hours after telling TMZ he wanted to walk his daughter down the aisle, said he will have heart surgery this morning and cannot attend the wedding.
According to TMZ, Thomas Markle said surgeons will clear blockage in his heart, repair damage and put in a stent.
“I hate the idea of missing one of the greatest moments in history and walking my daughter down the aisle.“
So, who is this guy? Well, Markle is a former lighting director who’s worked on shows like Married with Children and General Hospital, according to IMDB. He met Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, at a Hollywood studio in the late ’70s and the pair split when Meghan was still young.
So, now it’s unclear who will walk the 36-year-old actress down the aisle as she weds Prince Harry in a Saturday ceremony at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
A friend of the bride-to-be told the Daily Mail,
“This is not what she wants. She obviously wants her dad there. She and Prince Harry are begging for people to give him some space. They have been saying this for weeks, while trying to offer him support and help. He is clearly feeling under immense pressure. The concern for him is real and genuine.”
If you plan to get up and see who does end up walking her down the aisle, here’s the EARLY morning schedule. This is what DVR’s are for…

Guy Loses It in Manhattan Take-Out Because (Are You Sitting Down?) People Were Speaking Spanish!! Watch
This video posted Monday morning, has already gone viral. It was posted on Facebook by Edward Suazo. In it, this entitled white dude loses his shit because (I hope you’re sitting down now…) employees serving lunch were speaking in Spanish to customers who spoke Spanish.
According to Latino Rebels, here’s the transcript of what transpired. (Note the “take a break from the food” comment from him… fat shaming on top of racism.)
WHITE DUDE:…your staff are speaking Spanish to customers, when they should be speaking English.
EMPLOYEE: Sometimes they do…
WHITE DUDE: Every person I listened to. He spoke it. He spoke it. She’s speaking it. It’s America.
VOICE 1: It is America.
VOICE 2: That’s fucked up.
VOICE 1: He’s very ignorant, and he shouldn’t be allowed…
WHITE DUDE: So I will be following up, and my guess is, they’re not documented. So my next call is to ICE to have each one of them kicked out of my country. If they have the balls to come here and live off of my money. I pay for their welfare. I pay for their ability to be here. The least they can do, they least they can do is speak English… If you intend on running a place in midtown Manhattan, your staff should be speaking English, not Spanish.
VOICE 1: Because of people like you, our nation is fucked up…
WHITE DUDE: Honey, I’m calling ICE…
VOICE 1: Call ICE.
WHITE DUDE: Maybe you shouldn’t eat that sandwich today. Take a break from the food.
VOICE 1: Maybe you should get hit by a car, you piece of shit.
This edited explanation accompanied the video below when posted on Facebook,
“So my wife and her best friend just experience what America is becoming !
They where on there lunch time and ordering there food and just because they where speaking in Spanish to the waiter this asshole jumps in and started to call the waiter and my wife and her best friend all types of names and threatened to call I.C.E on them and the employees !!!!
What a big man talking down to couple of women and a helpless employee. I wish someone tells me I can’t speak in my native language ! First of all they weren’t talking to you !! Asshole !
My country !! Haha
I love the way people are just throwing that world around lately !!“
Racist entitled white guys, they’re EVERYWHERE, apparently.
Watch.
UPDATE: After Latino Rebels posted about the video, Shaun King was using Twitter to try and identify who this guy is….?
A Facebook friend found out he’s Manhattan attorney, Aaron M. Schlossberg. From his law firm bio, irony of all ironies,
“Mr. Schlossberg is a published author and a seasoned presenter. He is fluent in Spanish, conversational in French and has basic knowledge of Mandarin Chinese and Hebrew.“
They left out the fact he’s fluent is ASSHOLE too. We make jokes about frat bros. He actually is one –Alpha Tau Omega.
We are closer to identifying this horrible man. Clearly, his bigotry is not new or hidden. He has been seen being horrible before.
This is him last year in New York. https://t.co/mcfrjwgS0t
