This movie: The French Woman (1979) Summary: Allegedly based on the true story of Madame Claude, the head of a high-priced French brothel, this is an international tale of erotica and intrigue. 3 Who's baby Jane (Holzer)? The same as Lou Reed's Sweet Jane? --> Yes it is. 4 Who is Robert E Lee --> General of the Conferedate Army (losers) in American civil war. 5 Quagelino's place or Mabel's? --> Quaglino's -- a restaurant that is still is business in London, tres chichi 6 Lagoulue (Strand) -- La Goulue More than you EVER wanted to know: ONCE La Goulue or "the glutton" (Louise Weber, 1870-1929) was the most outrageous dancer of the day, her name synonymous with the Moulin Rouge nightclub. A provincial girl from Alsace who became the shameless queen of Montmartre. She appeared at the Moulin Rouge when it first opened and danced the chahut (a form of can can) with her long-limbed partner, Jacques Renaudin, a wine merchant by day who at night became Valentin le Désossé, literally translated as "Valentin the boneless." She earned her nickname by her habit of draining the glasses dry in bars. Brought up by a laundress mother, her greatest pleasure consisted of trying on the fine clothing of customers. At sixteen she took a job in a laundry in the Rue de la Goutte d'Or which is described in Emile Zola's novel L'Assommoir. Her mind, however, was focused on dancing. Without her mother's knowledge, she borrowed garments left by customers and made her entrance each evening at the local dance halls. Distinguishing herself not only as a dancer but also as a laughing, extroverted high-stepper, she soon attracted attention. She fell in love with the painter Auguste Renoir, who introduced her to la louée, a popular group of models who posed nude for many artists. Through these connections she found her way to increasingly more fashionable clubs. When Joseph Oller met her, he immediately engaged her to dance the grand quadrille at the Moulin Rouge. Thus she rose from anonymity to become the queen of Parisian sensuality. She danced on tables, displayed the heart embroidered on her drawers, and removed gentlemen's hats with her toe at the end of her galop. For this she earned about eight hundred francs per month, not counting her touring fees. Soon a wealthy woman with a home in Montmartre and a carriage of her own, she considered herself very much the reigning queen. By 1895 she was thoroughly bored, and announced her departure from the Moulin Rouge to set up her own business. She invested an enormous sum in a fairground booth and decided to specialize in belly-dancing. She believed that Paris would continue to come to her, but was disappointed in the response. La Goulue without the Moulin Rouge was a failure. Her fall was as spectacular as her rise. She drank more and spent the rest of her fortune in high living and foolish business investments, including a partnership in an animal-taming act. Alcoholic, homeless, and old before her time, in 1925 she was found toothless and white-haired in Neuilly-sur-Marne. She returned to Montmartre in 1928 selling peanuts, cigarettes, and matches on the streets near the Moulin Rouge. No one recognized the former queen. She died in 1929, telling a priest that she was "La Goulue." 7 Valerie (Beauty Queen)? Maybe Valerie Solaris. One of the people from the crowd around Andy Warhol? --> since Valerie shot Andy Warhol I don't think Bry would write such a song for her -- I think it's made up name. - -----Original Message----- From: Martin Stockman To: avalon@smoe.org Date: Friday, February 05, 1999 11:14 AM Subject: Re: [AVALON] Unfrequently asked questions >Dear Hearts > >Can anyone help me with the following.. > >1.

Jim Lawn's last newsletter doesn't mention the territories in which the re - mastered CDs are to be released. Hopefully the absence of any clarification means 'everywhere'. These will cover BF and RM and will total "nearly 20" CDs - so presumably they will include an odd live album and / or compilation. Releases to start sometime this year and span 18 months. "The Video Collection" and a 'Best of' to be released in the US in Summer - hopefully the 'Blockbuster' ad will give these a boost.
