I got back to Austin on Sunday from San Francisco, where I saw the Chris Chase play "Joan Crawford Superstar" on May 10. I added an entry for the play to the Encyclopedia---which includes a link to a page with 15 photos that I took of the show's Joan program and exhibit and stage. While in SF, I also visited the scene of location shooting for Sudden Fear---photos of the Tamalpais building to come in the next few days!
May 10 We Remember
[Editor's Note: I'll be in San Francisco from 5/9 thru 5/11---so I can attend the Joan Crawford Superstar play on May 10! I won't be making any updates to BOE during that time, but I wanted to go ahead and pre-post this memorial for Joan's May 10 day of passing.]
