JEANNE MOREAU - 1977
In June 1977, as Publicity Director for CIC-Warner , I attended a marketing
seminar in Rome for William Friedkin's film 'Sorcerer'. William was married at
the time to legendary French actress Jeanne Moreau - whom I admired very
much. Jeanne's got her arm around my neck - so I can't even recall who the
other two gentlemen in the photo are!
WILLIAM FRIEDKIN - 1977
Finally meeting William Friedkin (centre) controversial director of 'The Exorcist' during
a marketing seminar in Rome in 1977. On the left is Wayne Duband, then managing
director of C.I.C Warner. Friedkin had just finished directing ' Sorcerer'.
NANETTE NEWMAN - 1978
Lovely British star Nanette Newman
came to South Africa in 1978 to promote
her movie 'International Velvet' . The film
was directed by her husband Bryan
Forbes. In the photo above are Nanette,
Wayne Duband and myself.
SARAH DOUGLAS -1978
Sarah Douglas, who plays the part of
'Ursa' in 'Superman The Movie' paid a
visit to South Africa in 1978 to
promote the opening of the movie in
Johannesburg. A very sexy lady
indeed!
Two lady admirers surround Sarah Douglas
while Kevin Hyson (managing director of
CIC-Warner) and myself can only look on!
