It has been disputed among historians for many years, but those purists and cultists who know Jacqueline Susann's work "Valley Of The Dolls," and its film version, understand that the pool scene where Neely catches husband Ted Casablanca(!) in the pool, naked, with contracted Janie Lord was based on Judy Garland catching husband Vincente Minnelli in their swimming pool with the pool boy.
On film, this translated into that fabulous moment when Ted Casablanca, or the actor playing him, Alexander Davion, says with a straight face, "That little whore makes me feel nine feet tall!"
Can you believe it, girls????????? It is SO hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sure Vincente Minnelli did not say that to Judy Garland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, Vincente Minnelli will always be one of Hollywood's greatest directors, and I shall prove with my film project, but let's face it, he was nothing to look at. I mean, even David O. Selznick was more attractive.
I wish that pool boy was still alive, which he probably is not, because I would love to hear his side of the story. I can believe Vincente had the hots for him, but I cannot believe the pool boy gave it to him for free! Even Alexander Davion in "Valley Of The Dolls" was better, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sure Vincente did not get his favors for free; one look at him and the pool boy saw a chance to make some money, which I am sure he did!
How in the world did they manage to have Liza? Sperm donation was not common yet, if at all. I bet Judy pulled a paper bag over Minnelli's head during!!!!!!!!!!! I sure would have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if this legend is not true, it certainly has a degree of plausibility!
Be careful whom you invite into your swimming pool, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
