Marylin Reed and I went to see a movie that was showing at UCLA. It was our first date. On our next date we went to see Black Orpheus. Her older sister was a very radical women who knew Black Panthers. Her family invented WOKE and practiced it on me. Marilyn’s mother forced us to go to church and three Billy Graham meetings. My uncle Vinnie went to UCLA and wrote a sports column for the Bruins. Mark Gall became an executor for the Rice Trust, but refused to serve. I suspect he was showing his friends in Israel how American Jews treat a suspected Nazi. Soon afterwards I ran into radical people who ran the Whoville encampment. They threatened my life.
I am in a time-warp daze – BIG TIME! I am probably near the end of my life.

Chief rabbi under fire for crediting yeshivas, not army, with Israel’s survival in war
Critics slam Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, with one retorting that by that logic, the rabbi himself ‘should go to jail with his supporters for their failure on October 7’

Sephardi Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef was assailed Saturday night and Sunday for saying that Israel has survived rocket attacks by terror groups throughout the ongoing war in Gaza thanks to yeshiva students, rather than the work of the security forces.
In a filmed weekly sermon Saturday evening, Yosef said that “13,000 missiles were lobbed at our country [since the October 7 Hamas onslaught]; thank God for the miracles and wonders we had. Thanks to what? Thanks to the IDF chief of staff? Thanks to whom? Thanks to the Torah students and yeshiva students, who sit and study the Torah.”
He went on to say that Israelis were saved from attacks in the north, south and by Hamas terrorists, “only thanks to the members of the yeshivas and their students. They protect all the soldiers and all the nation of Israel.”
On our second date Marilyn took me to see ‘Black Orpheus’ at the Nuart theater on Santa Monica Blvd. M thinks it was the Tivoli. When I see Mia drive by the Rialto theater, I start to choke. My ‘It Girl’ put her hand on my arm, to comfort me.
“Are you all right?”
“No! I’m having an attack of dejevue!
When we emerged from the theater, M asked me what I thought.
“I think I am a black man trapped in a white man’s body!”
Marilyn looked at me, perturbed. I didn’t know it then that she was setting me up for the greatest White vs. Black Culture Clash – of all time!
“I can dance! Really dance! I stole a LP from Rexall drug store when I was fourteen. I still have it. I used to dance to ‘African Drums’ before I went to school, and after, to relieve the tension. I hate school!”
I am sure Marilyn told Kenny Reed about the black soul lurking inside, me, and that’s why I am the only white man he hates in the Emerald Valley.
Being a Poor White-Black Person, with no money to take M on our first date. Rosemary suggested we go see Wurthering Heights at UCLA, where she went for two years. It was my first date. I tried not to show I was nervous. We did not hold hands, or touch one another inside the movie house. I knew she was waiting for The Kiss. I wanted a really grand kiss! A real movie kiss!
It was nighttime. As we walked the brick path, all of a sudden, I grabbed Marilyn’s hand and, cried!
“Let’s see if we can get to the top of that tower!”
We ran as hard as we could, we bothing laughing! The door was unlocked. There was no one anywhere as we bounded up the stairs! We found the door to the balcony, and looked down on the city lights. We were fifteen and sixteen. I shouted;
“Let’s go to the top of that tower!”
And down the stairs we ran! We conquered both towers! We owned La La Land!
We had people to run from. My best friend, Mark Owen, said this to me;
“I’m going to destroy you. I’m going to take Marilyn from you!”
Mark became Marilyn’s best friend’s lover.
Then, there was Jeff Pasternak, the movie producer’s son, who approached us at school. There was a dark jealousy deep inside. He had a crush on M before I came along. He did not respond to any the e-mails you have read in this blog. He was rich. M and her family were so poor. I was poor. We began to fret over money so we could fund our True Romance. M’s mother was really on my case! Mia’s phone call with her mother – ruined them, ruined the…………
‘The Greatest Love Story Ever Told!’
We never considering cashing in, because our story kept getting bigger and better. M’s half-brother took us to see Dizzy Gillespie at the Lighthouse in Hermosa beach. We would never be the same!
If La La Land resembles any movie, it is Black Orpheus, who was the greatest musician of all time. He was a married man. Mia and Sebastian, did not get married – yet!
Orpheus did not take his lyre into Hades to retrieve his beautiful wife, who had been captured by Death, and his minion of the underworld!
Do you see what Marilyn is holding in her hand? It looks like a Black Oscar. It is the black doll her sister, Shauna gave her. S married Ron Jeffers, Les MaCann’s drummer. She told me she would stay at her sister’s house in Watts. S & M would walk down the street together, in this Black Ghetto. No one fucked with them. M told me they walked past the Watts Towers on the way to Jazz clubs no white man ever entered. When I saw the Watts towers in La La Land, I knew it was A RIP!
Before M married Kenny, she told me not to anyone J.J. Johns kiss her on the couch after he made dinner for her in his apartment in Watts. He wanted to go all they way.
“I’m only fifteen!” she said. But, I think she lied.
What M is holding in her hand, is the Oscar not offered to all the Black Jazz Artists, who created a scene that was the Soul of the City of Angels. It is something else. It is M’s Oscar for the Best Love Story – of all time!
I begged my daughter, and my beautiful muses, to not give up on The Story………
“For all is well, that ends well!”
Everyone thought I was mad when I told them there is so much Illusion and Fakery, that I am compelled to give all I have – for free! For I have seen a Greater Reality. I have beheld, the Great Art. And, this is what we fought over, M and I. I told my love I was corrupting my Creative Soul – by even dwelling in La La Land! I’m sixteen years old having these incredible esoteric conversation up at the Mormon Temple, where we looked down on the city lights. It was our constant stage!
Mia booked out of there after her little stage, with the painted Eifel Tower, failed her. She was destined for The Real Thing!

Marilyn Godfrey Reed
Posted on October 31, 2011 by Royal Rosamond Press
Last night, I met with Marilyn Godfrey Reed at the Jazz Station in downtown Eugene. Her husband, Kenny Reed, was performing with his band ‘Stone Cold Jazz’. Marilyn was scheduled to sing.
“Vivien Leigh was my heroine,” Elizabeth once said. “She was innocence on the verge of decadence, always there to be saved.”
On our first date, Marilyn Godfrey and I went to see ‘Withering Heights’ in an auditorium on the grounds of the University of California at Los Angeles. Not having any money, and our mothers being poor, this love story was chosen because it being shown for free. Our father’s were absent from the home. We got no help from them in launching our fifty-five year friendship that began with the deep consideration as to how this agreement between two teenagers was going to go. Would I make it to first base, or, will we make excuses as to why we have to hurry home?
“My mother just got another calling from God. I feel it in my bones. I must rush home to be by her side.”
“My mother has just finished off a gallon of Pisano and his pulling my sister;s hair out by the root. I can feel her pain. I must rush home to protect her. See ya sometime!”
I was fifteen. I had never been on a date, and thus did not know what a bad date looked or felt like. I was at the mercy of Marilyn who had gone on several dates. She had kissed – how many of them? I kissed my childhood friend Nancy when we were both twelve. I assumed she was a good kisser. I had not kissed a girl hence. This kiss was waiting in the wing, as Heathcliffe made his famous haunted pledge. I include most of his commitment to love, because, at the end of our long bond, I receive a death threat from Marilyn’s black husband, and, a Cease and Desist from the black Director of the Gospel Choir Marilyn is the President of. For the moment, we are studying how White Folks love, in Merry Ol England made famous for this tale of woe.
‘May she wake in torment!‘ he cried, with frightful vehemence, stamping his foot, and groaning in a sudden paroxysm of ungovernable passion. ‘Why, she’s a liar to the end! Where is she? Not there—not in heaven—not perished—where? Oh! you said you cared nothing for my sufferings! And I pray one prayer—I repeat it till my tongue stiffens—Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living; you said I killed you—haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot die without my soul!’
Wow! So this is – love! You can’t even share anything that resembles this in a AA meeting without being accused of being selfish, and on a dry drunk. But, at fifteen Marilyn and I would give it a go. However, this was not our only blue print. M had a master plan that I still have not seen the whole of! Women are Secret Lovers. They play their cards very close to their vest, to their most Secret Heart. So, on our second date she took me to see Black Orpheus. She paid our way. From that day on, I was her puppet on a string.
Chazelle wrote the screenplay in 2010 but did not find a studio willing to finance the production without changes to his design. Following the success of his 2014 film Whiplash, the project was picked up by Summit Entertainment. La La Land premiered at the Venice Film Festival on August 31, 2016, and was released in the United States on December 9, 2016. It has grossed $370 million worldwide on a production budget of $30 million.[6]

UCLA faculty walk out as pro-Palestine demonstrations, counterprotests grow across SoCal campuses
Protests also continue at USC and UC Irvine, while new demonstrations arise at UC Irvine, UC Riverside and Cal Poly Pomona.
By CLARA HARTER | charter@scng.com
PUBLISHED: April 29, 2024 at 3:18 p.m. | UPDATED: April 29, 2024 at 8:25 p.m.
Dozens of UCLA faculty members walked out of class and marched to the “Palestine Solidarity Encampment” on Monday, April 29, to rally with student protesters who have occupied Royce Quad for the last five days.
The protesting teachers declared themselves part of the Faculty for Justice in Palestine Network, which seeks to support students’ right to peacefully protest and amplify their demands.

“We are out here to support students who are asking for UCLA’s disclosure of investments supporting the war in Gaza and divestment of UCLA commitments’ to the war in Gaza,” said Graeme Blair, assistant professor of political science at UCLA. “I think our role is to protect their rights to express that and share with the administration that we believe they should be allowed to be out here making these demands.”
In addition to the calls for disclosure and divestment, the student protesters are also asking the university to sever ties with Israeli universities and call for an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. Similar demands are being made by student protesters at universities across Southern California and the nation.
After protests smoldered at UCLA and USC over the weekend, campus demonstrations grew in scope around Southern California on Monday.
Student encampments were established Monday at Eagle Rock’s Occidental College, as well as UC Irvine and UC Riverside, and a protest took place at Cal Poly Pomona.
USC has closed campus access to the public in response to persistent protests, including an April 24 rally that culminated in the arrest of 93 activists who refused to obey LAPD’s orders to vacate the campus’s Alumni Park.
“My team and I are closely tracking the protests at UCLA today, and are in close communication with UCLA leadership and City officials to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone on campus,” City Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky posted on social media.
So far no arrests have been made at UCLA, however there was a skirmish on Sunday evening between dueling Pro-Palestine and Pro-Israel protests.
“UCLA has a long history of being a place of peaceful protest, and we are heartbroken about the violence that broke out,” stated Mary Osako, vice chancellor of UCLA strategic communications.
According to Osako’s statement the incident took place after a group of protesters breached the barriers set up to keep the two groups separated.
“The encampment was surrounded by Zionist agitators who were violent in harassing students,” said Vincent Doehr, a third-year PhD student at UCLA and encampment organizer who was present during the incident.
Nathan Mo, a Pro-Israel protester, also witnessed the conflict between rallies.

“There was a weakness in the barricades and they (Pro-Palestinian protests) were able to bum rush that weak spot and completely swarm and encircle us,” he said.
At USC, a pro-Palestinian activist vandalized the university’s famed Tommy Trojan statue over the weekend, spray-painting “Say no to genocide” on the base of the fixture. Organizers of the campus protests have denied any involvement with the crime.
The USC campus remained under restricted access Monday, with only a pair of gates opened primarily for students and staff only.
Just outside the campus, community activist Earl Ofari Hutchinson, president of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable, held a news conference calling on USC President Carol Folt to engage in an emergency campus dialogue with students over the Middle East conflict and students’ demands.
“The last week or so, there’s been chaos, there’s been turmoil, there’s been violence, there’s been destruction,” Hutchinson said.
He acknowledged that Folt issued a statement late last week responding to the protests, but he said she has not been “proactive” in working with students. He said an “emergency campus dialogue” is needed.
The call appeared to have come to fruition Monday afternoon, when protest organizers announced on social media that their negotiators would be meeting with Folt. No details were provided on the location of the afternoon meeting. Organizers said they would not be making any concessions and they would “refuse any normalization in our negotiations. Our occupation will continue until our demands are met.”
Folt sent a message to the campus community Friday saying the university had no choice but to call police during a mass protest last Wednesday.

At Occidental College in Eagle Rock, more than a hundred students gathered in front of the Arthur G. Coons Administration Center for the first day of their Palestine solidarity encampment.
Student organizers said they would remain there until the university meets their demands, which include divesting from companies that do business with Israel and calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
“If this is what it takes to end (the school’s) complicity than that’s what they need to do,” said Celine Hernandez, a student and supporter of the demonstrations. “I don’t want my school to stay silent so I hope this can actually start a change.”

Occidental Director of Communications Rachael Warecki released a statement noting that the university’s priorities are to keep campus safe and protect students’ freedom of expression.
Warecki said the protest so far has been peaceful and the university will continue to communicate its expectations for respectful student behavior.

In Riverside, a few dozen students had erected about 25 tents in front of the campus Bell Tower by mid-afternoon. Some wrote Pro-Palestinian messages with sidewalk chalk, while others did homework on the grass or spoke to passersby.
“We are starting Day One with more (participants) than we anticipated, and we are expecting that number to continue to grow throughout the week,” UCR senior Hibah Nassar said.
A statement released by UCR spokesperson John Warren said the university is “monitoring the activity to ensure the safety and security of the campus community.”
In Pomona, A crowd of around 200 Cal Poly students came together holding signs, waving Palestinian flags and wearing keffiyehs — a traditional Arab scarf considered a symbol of the Palestinian people.
Students entered the ground floor of the student center and chanted various phrases such as, “Disclose, divest. We do not stop, we do not rest,” and “Biden Biden, what do you say? How many kids have you killed today.”
Cal Poly Pomona released a brief statement noting that the college supports freedom of speech and the right to peacefully assemble. Officials implored participants to engage in a respectful manner. The protest dispersed without incident shortly before 2 p.m.

In Orange County, about 50 protesters encircled roughly a dozen tents set up in a plaza near the Physical Sciences Classroom building at UC Irvine, chanting “free Palestine.”
A list of demands posted on a sign at the encampment said the students want UCI to divest investment in Israeli businesses, and that they want full transparency and control of future investments.
The University of California system in a Friday statement said it opposed calls for divestment from Israel.

Into The Sawtelle

Vincent Rosamond Rice
I cried as I watched Spielberg’s West Side Story – a good deal! When this new version finally got going – there was no escaping – the pain! I knew what was coming. I knew my Shakespeare. This story is – gripping. Maria was perfectly cast. Her large eyes were two lenses into two worlds. Natalie Woods had those big eyes.
I hope we hear all the casting details – someday – and the argument Steven had with the Art Director. There had to be many – heated discussions – because I could not tell the temperature of New York – seconds into this very good movie! In the original, you knew it is summertime from way up in the helicopter. Then – smack – you are thrown on the street. NEVER put signs and words to read at the beginning of a movie. We don’t go to the movies to get a lesson. Our tears – are full of lessons. We go to this movie – to cry!
When my family first moved to West Los Angeles, I did the painting of our street, Midvale. We lived a hundred yards from Santa Monica Boulevard. It was a hundred degrees for several days straight. I deduced Rosemary moved her four children – to hell!
I was the best dancer at Oakland High. About fifty students formed a circle around me as I did my choregraphed version of The Pony. I danced for a half-hour before school, and when I got home. At sixteen, I danced the Bolero for Marilyn on her sixteenth Birthday. I took my shirt off, because I knew I was going to sweat allot. My love had stolen my large painting of Jesus walking across the hot desert. I was a great walker. I seldom had money for the bus. I would put myself in a trance – and create! I wrote poems, and philosophized. I was always in a movie.

Boléro is a one-movement orchestral piece by the French composer Maurice Ravel (1875–1937). Originally composed as a ballet commissioned by Russian actress and dancer Ida Rubinstein, the piece, which premiered in 1928, is Ravel’s most famous musical composition.[1]
Before Boléro, Ravel had composed large-scale ballets (such as Daphnis et Chloé, composed for the Ballets Russes 1909–1912), suites for the ballet (e.g. the second orchestral version of Ma mère l’oye, 1912), and one-movement dance pieces (for example La valse, 1906–1920). Apart from these compositions intended for a staged dance performance, Ravel had demonstrated an interest in composing re-styled dances, from his earliest successes—the 1895 Menuet and the 1899 Pavane—to his more mature works such as Le Tombeau de Couperin, which takes the format of a dance suite.
Boléro epitomizes Ravel’s preoccupation with restyling and reinventing dance movements. It was also one of the last pieces he composed before illness forced him into retirement. The two piano concertos and the song cycle Don Quichotte à Dulcinée were the only completed compositions that followed Boléro.
Two Sawtelle Marilyns
Posted on June 18, 2016 by Royal Rosamond Press
Two hours ago I got a call from Marilyn Reed. She invited me to our friend Caroline Quinn’s art show. I told her I had just posted on Churchill and Marilyn Monroe, and told her I believed she lived near her in Santa Monica, and, I would google her to get an address. What I found out, has blown me away! Here is the synchronicity that I already applied to the Sawtelle, and the chapter – if not book – I plan to write about this neighbor – both Marilyn’s grew up in! They lived three and a half blocks from each other. Marilyn Godfrey Reed lived on Iowa, on the corner of Colby, next to the actor, John Lupton, who is in her family tree.
Here’s where we enter The Twilight Zone, Marilyn’s crypt is located on Glendon Avenue, about ten blocks from where my family lived on Glendon, two houses from La Grange, and about thirteen blocks from the Marilyns. Marilyn is forever residing on Glendon, as is my kindred, Francis Linn Taylor, who married Elizabeth Mary Rosemond, who Liz was named after. Francis was a art collector who owned several galleries.
For over a year I have been blogging on the Sawtelle. Marilyn looked a lot like Marilyn. We spent much time at each others homes. We were deeply in love. Our homes, and our hood, played such a big part of our growing up. identities are hard to come by in such a sprawling city. When the Prescos first moved to LA in August of 62, it was very hot. Here is a painting I did of the apartment we lived in on Midvale that I believe was once located in the Sawtelle.
In my musical I have Marilyn going to France, and coming back to the Sawtelle with Brigette Bardot’s blue bicycle. Bardot is France’s Monroe! How uncanny! This is part of the Synchronicity Art Movement I discovered. I may be kin to Sarah Churchhill. Rena was born in Nebraska and lived with her grandmother. There are many books written about the Sacred Feminine. The artist Rosamond, rendered beautiful women, and was inspired to take up art when she was twenty-four after seeing a photo of the large canvas I did of Rena. Christine was also inspired by the relataionship I had, and still have, with my muse.
When you look at this map you see that Marilyn came home again. She rests in our hood. Below is a photograph of the Rosamond Women taken on Glendon Avenue. That’s me on a skateboard. Marilyn and I just broke up after her mother forbade me to see her anymore because I did not go down and be SAVED. She saw Monroe as a Jezebel and Hussy. My mother and aunt Lillian dated Errol Flynn.

After Marilyn left the Los Angeles Orphans Home she bounced back and forth between different foster homes.
In 1937, 11-year-old Monroe found a home with Ana Lower, a relative of Marilyn’s guardian Grace McKee. Marilyn and Aunt Ana lived at 11348 Nebraska Avenue. It was the most stable home environment that Marilyn had known and she lived here until Lower developed health problems. Subsequently, McKee arranged a marriage between 16-year-old Marilyn and 21-year-old Jim Dougherty.
Monroe and Dougherty were married on June 19, 1942.
Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson, June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962) was an American actress and model. Famous for playing “dumb blonde” characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s, emblematic of the era’s attitudes towards sexuality. Although she was a top-billed actress for only a decade, her films grossed $200 million by the time of her unexpected death in 1962.[1] She continues to be considered a major popular culture icon.[2]
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Monroe spent most of her childhood in foster homes and an orphanage and married for the first time at the age of sixteen. While working in a factory as part of the war effort in 1944, she met a photographer and began a successful pin-up modeling career.

Westwood Cemetery

No Marilyn tour would be complete without a visit to her crypt at Westwood. This small cemetery is hidden between tall buildings in a downtown area and is hard to find unless you know exactly where it is.
At the corner of Wilshire Blvd and Glendon Ave, there is a tall office building on the Southeast corner. Going south on Glendon, just past the office building there is a narrow driveway on the left. Turn in there, and go up the short hill. Where the driveway branches, go to the right, and you are there. The driveway circles around the cemetery. The chapel is near the Southwest corner. Marilyn’s crypt is near the Northeast corner. (Marked in the picture below)”
Here I am in 1963 on Glendon Avenue with my brother and Uncle Vinnie who gave me my first car, that 1957 Ford Fairlane in the background. The camera is point towards Marilyn’s crypt about twelve blocks away.

Larry Sidle of the Sawtelle Sychornicity
Posted on December 10, 2016 by Royal Rosamond Press
Around 3:30 P.M. my ex-brother-in-law called me up on my computer. We talked for almost an hour. The last time we exchanged words, was in 1967. We are fathers, who sired two daughters. Larry Sidle told me for the last twenty years he was living near University High School. I told him I am writing about Marilyn Reed and the Sawtelle.
“She lived on Iowa, near Colby.”
“I live near Colby!”
“I’m getting chills. I have blogged on Synchronicity.”
Two hours later I look at my Sawtelle blogs, and found this one posted December 9, 2015, a year ago – exactly! There are springs blocks from Larry’s house. There is a Eternal Return. Thanks to the ‘Boy Next Door’ I have become unstuck in the telling of my story about OUR family! We can go home again, and tell the truth, which will…..set us free.
In the photo above, Christine Rosamond Presco, is pregnant with Shannon Sidle. Why isn’t our story included in the Strange Tales of Rosamond?
