Yesterday, the Family Split came together, when I had to accept the truth…….
BOTH HEATHER PRESCO’S grandmothers were firggen insane, and thus her parents. The creation of The Monica Theatre allows me to obsrve the family insanity in a detached manner. Julie Lynch, the third Rosamond biographer says Christine was forced to draw in a closet because Rosemary only want meeeeeeeeee…..
TO BECOME A FAMOUS ARTIST.
This lie was invented to…..
SABOTAGE MY CREATIVE CAREERS!
Who is the Art Sabotour?
This question will be answered in a serial at the Monica. I want the AI of David Lynch to do a Rod Serling intro.
We know Betty Hanson was in and out of mental hospital. Did she get shock therapy. Rosemary Presco told her children she had a scholarship to Camarillo State Mental Hospital. Was she kept there for her own good? Was she WARNED about having children?

MOVIE IDEA
‘Anatomy of a Rogue Wave’
Chapter One
In 1948, Suzanne Plachette, the beautiful apprentice to the world famous photographer, Frank Rosefish, lifts the heavy camera of her master, and climbs to the top of the rock. Frank has gotten too old to make this climb. Suzanne understands a gauntlet has been passed. Positioning the legs of the tripod on the jagged rock was no easy task. Her heart racing, she sees her shot. She changes the lens for a close-up and presses the button with her thumb.
“Hurry up!” Frank shouts up to his understudy, he doing his best not to notice the strong wind has blown her skirt up to her thigh. Distracted, and annoyed, the young Parisian climbs down the treacherous rock, carefully. If she stumbles, her chance to be a famous photographer, would be at and end.
The next day, Suzanne brings the newspaper to her master’s Carmel bungalow. Together they read about the woman who got swept off Rocky Point by a “rouge wave”.
“This doesn’t make any sense!” declares Rosefish. “This is bullshit! Who in their right mind would go tide-pooling here?”
Having photographed every square inch of this coastline, Frank knew this was a very dangerous place. A fisherman was swept off this rock a week prior. There had been an eclipse of the moon. This woman had lived in Carmel most of her life.
“She knew better.” Rosefish uttered slowly as he let out a puff of smoke after taking a long draw from his meerschaum pipe.
Suzanne was distracted, as she took in the handsome man in the Sea Captain’s uniform. He was informing his fans he was sailing back to San Francisco on his famous yacht, the ‘Bohemian Roe’.
“That’s him! That’s the man I took a photograph of. He was standing next to this striking young woman. I got a close up just as you called to me. When I looked up, this woman was gone!
Rosefish took the pipe out of his mouth and lay it down on the oak table. Teacher and student looked at each other for what seemed an eternity. As one they made a beeline for the darkroom to develop what would turn out to be – the shot seen round the world.
