It taught me that even the icons have basic needs and get thirsty once in a while, and that initiation with Hollywood’s elite proved invaluable later on in life when I had to approach them on more serious business matters. The poetry (more accurately described as italicized notes-to-self with line breaks) remains strewn liberally through the pages, often summarizing the takeaway or the emotional impact of the events described: "I was / and still am / an exceptionally / easy target.

I’ve been very lucky in life, but I’ve also made my luck by being in the right place at the right time. At the time, I was press (working for the Herald Express) and could have written about it in my column, but Cooper was an All-American leading man. He was soon handling movies for Jack Nicholson ( Easy Rider and Five Easy Pieces), hanging out with the fast crowd, and representing many of them.

He said “I’ve been trying to tell you forever to go out on your own… I’m without representation so let’s have lunch and talk.Nobody can spin a celebrity story quite like Jim, and I’m so happy that he’s finally taken some friendly advice and put them down for others to enjoy as well. I went to bed that night feeling pretty satisfied with myself, thinking I’d hit one out of the park. What’s interesting here is that the kidnappers not only had the FBI on their trail, but they had Sam Giancana, then the head of the Chicago mafia, as well as every thug from Queens to San Diego looking for them. He’d lost his Columbia Records recording contract and was playing to less than half-houses in many of his concerts.
