Under the shiny lights

This was years in the past, after I was on TV’s movie star show “A Current Affair” — emceed by Maury Povich. The subsequent day I’m instructed my digital camera interview was with Raquel Welch!
The interview was not what we wished. This favor was to advertise a recording she’d made. She requested it. Told OK, the show will squeeze in 3 minutes on digital camera. Her lodge was close. She insisted on a chauffeured limo. Demanding hair and make-up, she made electricians redo the studio lighting. Did not like her chair and insisted a more elegant one exchange it.
She was a pest. So I requested — on air — why she’s such a ache. She glared at me — reside TV — unpinned her mike and mentioned: “And you are a pain in the ass.” She then stalked out leaving me on their own going through a reside viewers and with a scorching mike like an fool sitting on their own in a huge room with no person to speak to and cameras specializing in my face. Nice.
So thanks for watching, thanks for listening, thanks for me remembering . . . and allow us to not overlook that this was solely in New York, youngsters, solely in New York.
