So, I met Alan King - He was the yacht guest of William Levitt the famous realtor, ( King of suburbia ) on his 225 ft, yacht, named after his wife, Simone .. "La Belle Simone" she cost 8 million to build in 1972 there were 10 guests on board when they landed at the Puerto Banus they came into my boutique and Simone tried on several dresses and said she had a seamstress on board, took them and left.. Bill said we are having a party tonight .. join us !! I know now why they name these big ships and Yachts after women .. It is hard for me to give you a clue to the feeling. As I boarded her - I felt like I was getting in bed with Jacqueline Bisset, who I sat next to once, for a private screening of the movie hit. "The American Gigolo", how appropriate. So, anyway, Lucille Gould of the New York Gould's was on board.. there were 10 guests.. 30 crew, it cost 1 million a year to operate .. he sold it for 16 million 10 years later in 1982 - Alan King was doing his shtick just like I saw Jonathan Winters at another party the night before, do his.. I think they were feeling strange because people did not know who they were.. I knew who he was. He played to my audience of one, .. most people didn't understand his humor - a language problem too - so, it was a fun all stops out affair you name it was there and the paparazzi in force. Bill let two paparazzi, from Paris-Match on board. So, it was an 18 day cruise for Alan King later he paid them back with a "nonpaying guest" deal at Caesar's Palace,
his Tennis Tournament in 1975 and they lost over a million in stolen Jewelry and sued the hotel, big mess .. Anyway, in around 1977 I met Alan King at the 'Polo Lounge' for a drink, to catch up, and this hot young babe, want- to- be- starlet was all over him trying to get help for the movie business .. he was married, she didn't even have an 8x10, could of been a hooker he passed on her. I thought to myself in my small town honest mentality, this babe would be a knock out back in Missouri (a top what-ever) with-in this context of the high class Polo Lounge, she was way out of her league, but still !! She had the courage to walk into this place and give it a go - take her chance !! I liked her, and took her to my place for a swim in my 20x40 ft. pool in the Canyon .. to be continued .. so I'm back .. I take this girl from the Beverly Hills Hotel, told her to park her car down away from the front door and we leave for my Laurel Canyon half acre, built in the 1950's swimming pool with mermaids painted by a famous Dutch artist. So, I am not Alan King in the movie business but I did have one possible job. I could get for this babe!! This was in 1977/78 in 1972 Playboy had launched a magazine called "OUI" it was a sister magazine to a French one. They wanted to bring European flavor to the mass-market men's magazine business.. they had beautiful models, interviews and outstanding photography. I had been invited out to Malibu to the home of the producer, who did the porno comedy, in 1974 called "Flesh Gordon" he had a house in the hills, pool - whole show.. The movie cost him $700,000 bucks to make the hardcore part was sized by the police but he made a lot of money on it anyway. I also knew Bob Guccione and the Penthouse Pets .. I went to a big party they gave in Century City once.. I had been to the Playboy mansion. So, "OUI" magazine wanted to shoot a lay-out at my house in Laurel Canyon. It was private and the pool was perfect, it had a mural of mermaids painted by famous Dutch artist's.. So, I called them up and said if they used my model it was ok with me, if they used the house and my location fee could go to her as a bonus, so, they met with her and signed her up for it.. I got her the centerfold as well and they came over and wrecked my house moving everything around and all that, but it was a hot day in Laurel Canyon!! She was in the pool and it was very sexy ..........
