STUFF, ITEMS, and THINGS OF IT (Part 1)

PICASSO was once asked if he was ever going to write his autobiography, and he said his work IS his autobiography. Here then are a few pages from mine . . .

  1. Dear Craig,

    I love these early shots of your soft foam puppet

    characters.

    I also love the shot of you and the young ventriloquist

    ..posing with her little girl puppet for the Wisk tv plug.

    If it is permissible..?

    I'd like to ask..who is the ventriloquist?

    Is she well known?

    Mr.KTV.

  2. The actress is Mary Case, the Dummy girl's name is Kelly, and the young ventriloquist is some guy named Craig Marin.
