Yeah, it's the movie that All the Way comes from.
Yeah, that's right.
The last scene of it, Frank Sinatra's walking alone down a dark street with a lantern.
There's a lantern-lit street and he's sort of philosophically talking to himself in a pane of glass and he slings his coat
over his shoulder and, you know, philosophically walks into the city sunset.
But I always thought it was cool the way he slung his coat over his shoulder.
So that was the only, there was only a couple of photographs in that particular shooting like that, but that was the one Robert picked, the Frank Sinatra shot.
The Joker is Wild, I think is what it's called.
Yeah, that's it.
The Joker is Wild.
Appropriate title.
You met Robert Mapplethorpe in 1967 when you were 20.
Do I have that right?
Yes.
How did you meet?
Well, we met in Brooklyn.
I was around Pratt Institute of Art where he went to school.
I had a friend there and my friend had moved and I
was looking for my friend, and I knocked on the door where he used to be, and someone said, well, I don't know where your friend is, but you can ask the guy in there, and I went in another room and saw this kid sleeping on this cot, and I just stood there and was watching him sleep, and he opened his eyes and smiled at me.
And that's how we met.
