This is my photo totally untouched (I think) in 1947 but I was terrified of  losing my hair. I was twenty-four years old, studying  acting at  the Shuster-Martin School of  UN-DRAMA .  I was dying to go to Hollywood and become a movie star like Alan Ladd  or Cornel  Wilde. I was an empty headed  jerk who had volunteered to get slaughtered in the Second World War.  I hadn’t yet met my wife Nancy who turned my head around so I could see what the world was all about–YES, THE U.S.CONQUERING THE WORLD. She knew I was gay before we got married.  She was an amazing free-spirited woman in the Fifties who believed in the killer capitalism of  Ayn Rand–turned to the  teachings of  the economist Henry George—then to Communism and in later life she became a BORN AGAIN CATHOLIC.   However, she was still  a radical and thank god she was not a mealy mouthed OBAMA LIBERAL!
