Today I got up to October, 2015 and you were writing that the NY musical theater has been adopting movie musicals, proudly mentioning your son, Jeff Bienstock. You know I grew up in Midwood, Brooklyn. Rented the first floor of a two family home on East 10th Street. Who owned the house? Moe & Lillian Bienstock! Great people. Maybe your husband’s relatives used to collect rent from my parents. How super cool would that be? Best to you and whole family. Bob.

The part that was new to me was that Nicholson wrote screenplays for Roger, I never knew that, just as I never knew the mother/sister deception. Right now I’m reading about Nicholson, Goldman (Which Lie Did I Tell You?) Woody Allens autobiography (had to overcome personal resistance due to the accusations) and Lumet’s Making Movies. Guess who inspired me to board this illuminating journey? Appreciate it after every revelation. Bob.

I promise I’ll get to your bio soon, I swear. Stay Safe. Stay Healthy.

The more voices like yours the more likely this error will be corrected. Bob. PS LOVE Spike, we’re both Brooklyn boys, though he has monumental talent and I have none.
