Spreading the bad news
This week was Archbishop Timothy Cardinal Dolan’s annual Christmas party. Hilton Hotel Ballroom. Tight. More Catholics together than at the Pope’s investiture.
Rosanna Scotto, a Catholic school graduate who has always hosted Channel 5’s news program, introduced His Eminence Dolan as Cardinal O’Connor.
Embarrassed, she then said, “I’ll have to say more Hail Marys tonight.”
Dolan followed his introduction with: “Thank you, Barbara Walters.”
Elsewhere, from high-ranking NYPD officials:
“The police are leaving. Morality is bad. They see non-white police stacked against them. Absolutely no respect for this new commissioner. If the district attorney does not file a charge and no claim is filed, an officer could be liable for a civil lawsuit. The inspection departments claim that the police remain at their posts but do nothing.
“Complaints are skyrocketing. More rapes now than before. The quality of life has worsened. By checking all directions when getting out of a car, you can still get hit. Bicycles, motorcycles, scooters without a license everywhere. There is a greater need for self-preservation. Criminals jump out of cars to commit a robbery.
“Adams wants to be president and that’s why he pleases progressives. But police personnel are scarce. You can’t hire people if financing is a difficulty. In addition to the increase in crime, there is a difficulty in recruiting.”
The directors keep these actors awake.
Director Greta Gerwig knew her “Barbie” might be a multi-millionaire. She says:
“I even went to the cinema to listen because I wanted the loud sound. “Some theaters didn’t play it loud enough.”
Dressed in Versace pink at a reception with F. Murray Abraham, Christian Slater, Sandra Bernhard, Michael Cera and Dua Lipa, she said: “We felt like she could go big. Now when I take off my heels, even my feet open up. But no matter what happens, there will be no sequel.”
Someone else behind the scenes, Lee Strasberg, whose biography I wrote, is no longer around, but his West 44th Actors Studio continues until ’77.
Among others, it produced Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe, Paul Newman, James Dean, Harvey Keitel, James Caan, Jane Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Dustin Hoffman, Norman Mailer, Eva Marie Saint, Shelley Winters, Sidney Poitier. , Jack Nicholson, Ellen Burstyn, Sally Field, James Baldwin, Eli Wallach, Joanne Woodward, Sissy Spacek, Estelle Parsons, Arthur Penn.
New co-artistic director Martha Gehman is the daughter of Estelle Parsons.

And last week. The 59th Street Bridge. Big van. Uniformed police officers physically removed motorcycles, scooters and bicycles, trying to keep traffic moving. . . Y: You must, you must, watch the movie “The Holdovers.” Paul Giamatti stars. Forget flashy names that get PRs and nominations. It’s not only good. He is wonderful. Fabulous. He steals the movie and deserves an Oscar.
Only in New York, children, only in New York.
