The Old And The Young

Not as interesting as her previous memoir SCARLETT O'HARA'S YOUNGER SISTER, This book still manages to make some thought-proviking observations about aging and the difference between men and women. It is particularly notable for its insights into the home life of Stanley and Christiane Kubrick in London during the 1960s and 1970s. Evelyn undergoes some truly trying times, including trying to prop up the failing life of her former husband Artie Shaw, as well as being privy to some of the alarming physical setbacks endured by her other famous husband, John Huston. Meanwhile she attracts a young gay admirer and revisits many of the old sites and people from her past, the whole thing taking on a very very Proust, Past Regained semblance of deja vu. Kirk Douglas behaves badly towards her, as is to be expected. She appears in an episode of Steven Spielberg's TV series, directed by Joe Dante, co-starring an old face from the 1940s, pal Eddie Bracken. She stars in the national tour of No, No, Nanette, with Don Ameche, who comes off like a prince. While her glow of stardom was never as great as that of say, Lana or Marilyn, Evelyn gave off some good performances and was always a trouper. We don't often think of her but when we do, it's with great affection and nostalgia. She was, as they used to say when they didn't know what else to say, a pistol all right.
