And within 24 hours of Monty telling me to find Jack, I'm speaking to Jack Larson.
This is how it was the whole time.
I go back to New York, and right away I get invited to a cocktail party at 217 East 61st Street, which is Montgomery Cliffs Old Brownstone, where I was told I would go from the very beginning.
So with an hour's notice, I go over to the house, and I walk in.
I'm sort of in a daze, and it's frozen in 1966.
It hasn't changed since Monty died.
And I meet this guy, Paul, who's lived there for decades and knows all the secrets of Monty's house.
And I see the room where he died.
He died in his bedroom, famously, this famous story of his death.
And he said, well, actually, no, he died in the bathtub.
It's not published anywhere.
And she's like, what was the house like?
And I'm like, it's exactly like it was when he left it.
It's Monty's wallpaper and Monty's tile.
