Doris Wishman Update - Or, A Little More Ignorant than I Thought I Was

I got a very kind, gentle email from someone who worked with Doris Wishman. This person had read my post about Satan Was A Lady and offered me some additional information about the director and the movie. Ms. Wishman passed away last August (2002). She was 90. She was a very kind woman who cared deeply. She was apparently embarrassed by the quote I repeated and regretted having said it. As do I regret my flippant remarks after her quote.

Quote of the Moment

doris had been making movies since the 60's and, believe it or not, was very naive and shy about sex... hence the film having such a retro feel to it. believe me, we wanted to do a little more with it but she refused to show more, neither sex nor violence. she was an extremely warm and wonderful person who cared a great deal for her family, friends and pets.
