Rex always kept one eye toward the entrance. This was how it was with actors. Myron repped one guy who was world-renowned for detesting the press. He had battled with photographers. He had sued tabloids. He had demanded his privacy. Yet whenever Myron ate dinner with him, the actor always chose a seat in the center of the room, facing the door, and whenever someone would enter, he'd look up, just for a second, just to make sure he was recognized . His eyes still moving, Rex said, Yeah, yeah, I get it. Do I have to wear a dress?For some scenes, yes . I 've done that before . Myron arched an eyebrow . Professionally, I mean. Don't be a wiseass. And it was tastefully done. The dress must be something tasteful . So, what, nothing with a plunging neckline?'Funny, Myron. You're a scream. Speaking of which, do I have to do a screen test?You do . Chrissakes, I've made eighty films . I know, Rex . He can't look at one of them?Myron shrugged. That's what he said . You like the script?I do, Rex . How old is this director?'Twenty-two . Jesus. I was already a has-been by the time he was born . They'll pay for a flight to L. A. First class?Coach, but I think I can get you a business upgrade . A h, who am I kidding? I'd sit on the wing in only my girdle if the role was right . That's the spirit . A mother and daughter came over and asked Rex for his autograph. He smiled grandly and puffed out his chest. He looked at the obvious mother and said, Are you two sisters?She giggled as she left . A nother happy customer, Myron said . I aim to please . A buxom blonde came by for an autograph. Rex kissed her a little too hard. After she sashayed away, Rex held up a piece of paper. Look . What is it?Her phone number . Terrific . What can I say, Myron? I love women . Myron looked up and to his right . What?I'm just wondering, Myron said, how your prenup will hold up . Very funny . They ate some chicken from a deep fryer. Or maybe it was beef or shrimp. Once in the deep fryer, it all tasted the same. Myron could feel Rex's eyes on him . What? Myron said . I t's sort of tough to admit this, Rex said, but I'm only alive when I'm in the spotlight. I've had three wives and four kids. I love them all. I enjoyed my time with them. But the only time I feel really myself is when I'm in the spotlight . Myron said nothing . Does that sound pathetic to you?Myron shrugged . You know what else?What?In their heart of hearts, I think most people are like that. They crave fame. They want people to recognize them and stop them on the streets.
