Lot Essay

Sunday, September 25, 1977
At the party at the Ginger Man for the opening of the New York Film Festival, Leticia Kent was there and John Springer who gave the party, and Marcello Mastroianni and Gerard Depardieu who looked wonderful. He asked me for a French cigarette and I told him I didn’t have one but that I could get him a Quaalude, so I went over to Stevie and he gave me one to take and I broke it into fourths and then didn’t take it. But Stevie kept saying, “You didn’t take your Quaalude.” They don’t forget—people on drugs really do remember. So I let him see me taking part of it.
