among our readers may remember the name Stewart Brand from the 1960s and
70s. And if the name isn’t familiar, what he created will be. For it was

Mary Bennet — Jennifer Paynter
| "I went directly to the
breakfast room where Gil was serving up soup to Lydia and Kitty and the
two Allardyce boys, but beyond a cursory nod in my direction and a
'Where on earth have you been?' she paid me no attention. Consequently I
was not introduced to either of the boys, and when I took my place at
the table, the bigger (but as I later learned, younger) boy said in a
loud impudent voice:
'And who might you be, Miss?'" |

| "In the late seventies,
I was working at an urban slave’s wage for a very small public relations
agency in New Orleans. My boss was a talented publicist and an even

meant that we handled public appearance tours for movie stars whose
films were opening in the area. I worked with such stars as Gene Kelly,
Michael Sarrazin and Lauren Hutton, and I have a trove of tellable
tales, but none matches my memory of Joan Rivers." |
