My Way of Life- RIP Liz Renay
One of those moments that makes you curl your lip and sadly say , ‘Oh….’ Whenever I think of Liz Renay I think of Brian or ‘BC ‘ as you all know him. Her character, Muffy St, Jacque is one of his favorites and one of his favorite lines from the film is ‘I sleep in the bed, NEXT (shaking chest) to you!’… you kind of have to be there to really appreciate it.
One of my favorite books is My Face for the World to See, Ms. Renay’s ‘colorful’ autobiography. I made BC read a section of that book for his POSEIDON audition. I still think it would make a great play. She led an in incredibly wild life, even with all of her hilarious exaggerations in her book, it’s still a great read. Other books include Staying Young and My First 2000 Men. She also had a mother daughter striptease act. I love that on so many levels. I wrote that into a play that has never been produced (because it was never finished).
Cult movie actress, gangster moll, painter, stripper, plastic surgery addict and DAME. Sounds like the perfect life. God bless, Liz…
