A film crew has been interviewing Art Shay and he wrote about their work and his memories of shooting movie stars (including Elizabeth Taylor, left) and more in this essay -- Rare Medium -- for Swans:
At first I was concerned about what the filmmakers will do to my book and Algren -- thinking what the hell, Algren died in 1981 and my nude picture of his lover, Simone de Beauvoir, wasn't a magazine cover until recently -- I now realize that I may be in the middle of a maelstrom. Who knows where cinematography will take my work in its quest for Fellini-like actuality?
