I’ve been a candy fan all my life, I’ve been a Candy Clark fan almost as long. Her Academy Award Nominated performance as Debbie Dunham in American Graffiti is unforgettable. We started with a few tech issues. It was worth the little time and frustration for the great stories and fun which followed. We talked vaccines, pandemic protocols, adjusted living, shopping, eating, to making new friends in th midst of it. Candy's got her neighbors, I've got the COVID crazies. We touched on the lunacy but focused on hope. Candy walked us through her humble beginnings in Texas, where her life’s ambition was to be a secretary/ receptionist. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Modeling brought her to NY for a visit. Before touching down she decided to stay. With $40 in her pocket, she made it work. Her acting career began with director John Houston, opposite Stacy Keach and Jeff Bridges, who became her live-in boyfriend. All while she was insisting, “I just want to be an extra!” Words no one else has said, ever. There’s the whole American Graffiti story––she told us all about it, from audition to shoot, to Oscar nomination, to the red carpet with her beau Jeff, to the reading of her category. Fab! We started to talk about Bowie and The Man Who Fell To Earth, but we'd been yakking a good while, and Candy wisely decided to save it for next time. So.... stay tuned for Part 2. Candy's one of my favorite people to run around with… been missing her muchly. It was so great to see her GORGEOUSNESS and ketchup. Such fun in the time of corona. Sans the beer.
