Miss Baldwin

“Jimmy thought of himself

as a combination of Martin

Luther King and Bette Davis.”

—Gore Vidal

“What a dump,” Jimmy would say—

Whether it was Harlem or Hollywood

Marlon Brando nods knowingly—

“Really, my dear,” John Gielgud quips—

While Cary Grant does vaudeville drag

Rock Hudson and James Dean—

Camping it up with Elizabeth Taylor

Montgomery Cliff stuck with all—

Those mean little Riviera hustlers

Shocked to see Stewart Granger—

Flipping wrist The Johnny Carson Show

Miss Truman Capote and Miss Vidal—

A bitch fight in Tiffany’s tearoom!!!
