Terrific evening, met chums from the bookshop at closing, off for food then the Filmhouse for the 40th anniversary screening & talk for Highlander (yes, I know, I can't believe it is 40 years since I first saw that in a cinema...).

Delightfully silly, and so 80s, and cheesey, and yet it all works.

Mark Frechette

In 1970 Mark Frechette was discovered by a casting director while in the middle of a shouting match at a Charles Street bus-stop in Boston. "He's 20 and he hates", she told director Michelangelo Antonioni. The director immediately cast Frechette for his counterculture film Zabrinskie Point

Despite the film being a flop Frechette + co-star Daria Halprin became symbols of the disillusioned youth of America, appearing on the covers of Look + Rolling Stone + appearing on talk shows.

In 1973, Frechette + 2 members of Lyman's Fort Hill Commune in Roxbury attempted to rob the New England Merchant's Bank. One of the trio was killed by police while the other 2 were arrested. Frechette was sentenced to 6 to 15 years in prison where he died in 1975 in a weightlifting accident after a 150-pound barbell fell on his neck + he suttocated. He was 27.
