The Santa Monica, California resident's drawings and paintings are in the collections of many major art museums, including the Metropolitan in New York City and the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. He met Christopher Isherwood, the famed author of "Berlin Stories" and a host of others, when he was 18 and Isherwood was 48, and it was Isherwood who encouraged his artistic career, and with whom he enjoyed friendships with many Hollywood celebrities. Bachardy has published seven books of his drawings, and he's the co-editor of "Where Joy Resides: A Christopher Isherwood Reader". This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE chats with Bachardy about his work, some of the silver screen's leading ladies who sat for him (Bette Davis, Ginger Rogers and Vivian Leigh), the "dangers" of queer life in the 1950's, and what he learned during the thirty-three years of life and love he shared with Isherwood ["TWO" I.D./re-intro at 9:55 into this segment/21:30 into the program] (outro music from "To Love and Be Loved" by DAVID BROWN; incidental music from the "Cabaret" motion picture soundtrack by LIZA MINNELLI). . . 15:50 Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:30 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:55 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or *news stories* is encouraged to email Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon at TWOradio@aol.co ----------------------------- thanks! --------------------------------- STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", A PERSONAL PORTRAIT OF ARTIST, GAY "TRIBAL ELDER" AND 33-YEAR CHRISTOPHER ISHERWOOD LOVER DON BACHARDY...
