Brando, Nicholson and Helena all live more or less together in a compound of three (main) houses on one parcel of land and share a driveway and gate. It is probably one of the more interesting addresses on this spinning ball of ours in terms of what has gone down there between the three of them and their many guests.
Helena, for you non-Hollywood types, is an old friend of Jack's from the '60s when she was a belly dancer on the Sunset Strip. She played the nasty dyke who they picked up hitchhiking in "Five Easy Pieces". In the '80s she hosted the hippest nightclub in town, (Helena's), which was really Jack's private club since he put up the dough. One of my good friend's mother was a belly dancer w/ her in the '60s, so we always went there and sat w/ Helena, etc., free dinners when I was young and broke. It was pretty intensely star-studded, this was the mid '80s and Madonna was the DJ on weekends, it was a lot of fun.
I could write a book too, but I never would. Too many friends involved.
