Everyone Comes to Elaine's: Forty Years of Movie Stars, All-Stars, Literary Lions, Financial Scions, Top Cops, Politicians, and Power Brokers at the Legendary Hot SpotHarper Collins, 30/03/2004 - 256 páginas Pull up a seat. You’re invited to the best spot in town: Elaine’s, the Upper East Side bar and restaurant owned by quirky restaurateur Elaine Kaufman. A true Manhattan original, Elaine nurtured young, hungry writers, artists, and performers who matured into the likes of Woody Allen, Jack Nicholson, Andy Warhol, and Norman Mailer. In Everyone Comes to Elaine's, you'll find meaty morsels on American icons, including Jackie O., Judy, and Liza, and first-hand accounts of the night Frank Sinatra snubbed The Godfather author, Mario Puzo, and the time that Mia Farrow asked Michael Caine to introduce her to Woody Allen. Everyone Comes to Elaine's is an insider's view of a cultural scene that closed it's doors officially in 2011, after the death of Elaine Kaufman, hostess and New York legend. There's no one better to to have told these great tales than award-winning author A. E. Hotchner, who was there all along. |

Página 30 - Whom the gods adore they first make plump and equip with a curly smile, a twinkling, welcoming eye in which, almost hidden, lurks the steely calculation of a riverboat gambler and the nerve of a cat burglar. The gods free their favorites, in this case Elaine, from all sentimentalities of democracy, and by instinct furnish them with the invaluable, arbitrary snobbish gift of choosing favorites who rely only upon their own taste in such delicate matters.
Página 51 - They like to stick together, because they're all under the same strain of working on their own against a blank piece of paper. But they don't talk about writing, because they've had that all day long, so they turn their minds to other things. And they keep the same hours.
