In 1981 I Met Ms. 45 in person

I'll never forget. In 1981 they were premiering this film in Los Angeles at the New Beverly Cinema. The ad in the paper that day said "Ms. 45 In Person" so i went. The theatre was a smaller revival house and only held 300 at the most and what was so funny was it was full up with almost all men. Don't remember seeing a woman there until "she" arrived. At the close of the film while the credits were scrlling and the sax film score was blasting Ms. 45 walked down the aisle in the dark and boldly stood in front of the screen with the titles continuing to scroll down across her. She was all in dark colors and a sexy dress as if Ms. 45 came to life off the screen. The men could only gawk and were speechless. The credits ended and the lights came up and she smiled. She spent almost an hour answering questions and you'd never imagine what you later learned of her drug use which would lead to her untimely death. I was never a great fan of the film, but this moment was what sticks with me. Thank you, Zoe
