OVERLOOK LIVE: ANTONIA QUIRKE at the Telephone Bar


Here's Antonia Quirke reading from Choking on Marlon Brando during her multimedia show at the Telephone Bar in New York earlier this week. We saw clips of Christopher Walken, Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, and Gerard Depardieu, while Ms. Quirke read excerpts from her memoir. We agree with Mick LaSalle, film critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, that Antonia Quirke is "about three seconds away from being very famous."

I used to go out with Antonia about twenty years ago and she was always dazzlingly bright. I haven't read the Brando book but I'm fairly sure I didn't make it in - unless there's anything about her catching conjunctivitis off one of my towels?
I've not spoken to her for about five years but it's good to know her book's a success with the critics. There's another reason I remember her fondly - she's the very first girl I wrote a sonnet for. :)
