Mary_jo, "They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?" was a memorable movie and soundtrack. Jane Fonda was great in it. I saw it on the big screen at my college’s Little Theater in 1970 when it first came out. Here’s a small story involving Jane Fonda that has nothing to with Jazz, that occurred about the same time. Jane had attended Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY, right across the Hudson River from SUNY at New Paltz where I went.
Being a lightening rod for the peace movement, Ms. Fonda was invited to speak at an anti-Viet Nam War rally at New Paltz. While waiting in the crowd to hear her speak, a cute, short haired girl walked through the middle of the crowd up to the podium, incidentally brushing right by us. I would have forgotten her long ago excepting that it was was Jane herself as you guessed. She looked exactly like she did in the movie "Klute" which came out in 1971. Providing that literal brush with celebrity entrance was "too cool for school.". It’s only a coincidence I’ve been in love with her ever since.
OK, now back to jazz, you jealous compatriots.
