okay, this is a little unfair to james fox. you'll see below that i just paid a sincere and dignified tribute to james' older brother edward, and i was going to be equally sober in paying tribute to james, but then i found this photo. it was taken during the filming of the 1966 arthur penn film 'the chase.' that's james there on the right. the dude holding up janie's other buttcheek is robert redford who also starred in the production. i've never seen the whole movie, so i can't say much about it, but i thought this picture was such a 'backstage party' scream that i just couldn't let it go. swig on, with that brown bottle of beer, janie baby! man, i can only imagine what deep emotional scars might have been left if one of the male co-stars had commented upon setting her back down, '...wow, honey...you're a lot heavier than i thought you would be.' it does kind of look like james is having a hell of a time keeping her up there. i should be fair to james and mention he sparkled and rocked as chaz in one of my all-time favorite films, donald cammel and nicholas roeg's 1970 counter-culture masterpiece 'perfomance.' i guess little miss janie deserves her own 'F ' spot, doesn't she? (mmm, am i the only one who think that sounds eee-dirty?) click to enlarge.
