Scenes from a life

GIBSON

magine a career spanning the

last half of the 20th Century
that included working with
such luminaries of the stage
and screen as Orson Welles,
Bob Fosse, Faye Dunaway,
Frank Sinatra, Dustin Hoffman,
Jose Ferrer and Peter Hall of
Londons National Theatre, as
well as experiencing smashing
successes and best-be-forgotten
flops. And this career included
acting, stage managing, playand screenwriting and script
doctoring...
Julian Barry, now living in
Redding, had that career and
shares some of his experiences
in his autobiography, My Night
With Orson. Released in July,
My Night With Orson is a fun
and informative behind-thescenes series of vignettes about
show business written in a conversational tone. While there
are links, each chapter, titled
around an event or incident
My Christmas With Jason
[Robards], My Disaster with Sir
Peter [Hall] can stand alone.
Readers learn some of the nittygritty that goes into a play production and why some movies
get made and some dont. ...
and how seemingly innocuous
events can lead to career-changing decisions, a new love or the
end of a personal or professional
relationship.
Mr. Barrys best-known work
is Lenny, the story and words
of controversial comedian
Lenny
Bruce,
who
was portrayed
on
Broadway
by Cliff Gorman
and in the multiAcademy Awardnominated film by
Dustin Hoffman. Mr.
Julian was nominated
for Best Screenplay
Adapted
From
Another Medium; he
lost to Francis Ford
Coppola and Mario
Puzo, who won for The
Godfather: Part II.
The story behind the
title of Mr. Barrys books
title relates to his time as
an extra in the 1956 New
York City Center production of King Lear directed by and starring Orson
Welles.
Mr. Barry later had a successful career as a stage manager, including for several
Broadway plays, before he
made his mark as a scriptwriter

Julian Barry: Scenes from a life

with an episode for the first
season of Mission Impossible,
for which Barbara Bain won
an Emmy.
For the last decade, Mr.
Barry has been living quietly
on a dead-end road in Redding
except for Wednesday
nights, when a half-dozen or
so area residents make their
way to his home for a regular jam session. He describes
his bandmates as people
who love jazz, and were wise
enough to know its not a great
way to make a living.
Group members occasionally play at parties and have
performed a couple of times
at the Mark Twain Library,
but primarily they play for
the pleasure of it. Members
comprise a couple of retired
airline pilots, some lawyers
and two women, Redding
artist Kathy Anderson, who
wants to be a jazz pianist when
she grows up, and saxophone
player Ruth Ehlers, and a
damned good one, too! Mr.
Barry noted.
His life in Redding has been
that of a musician, he says,
adding that his bandmates
were shocked to learn of his
work history, adding, My
career is not who I am. Music
has been a central part of his
life since high school, becoming a passion throughout his
adulthood.
He acknowledges, I am a
fool for playing a trumpet at
my age [80], but I love it. I
practice every day. I played
it a lot in the 50s, until I gave
myself a hernia trying to play
like Maynard Ferguson; my
doctor told me to play something I didnt have to blow as

Answers to Sudoku

hard, so I played the sax for

years. But I missed the trumpet its noisy and aggressive.
Asked, like you? He laughed
and said, Yeah!
The idea of writing an autobiography had been kicking
around for some time. I wanted to set it down for myself;
Ive been though a lot and
met some great people and
been to some great places, and
I wanted share that with my
children, to give them a better understanding of my life.
But I didnt want to write
a traditional autobiography,
which often reads like a list
of accomplishments, so I followed the advice of the great
filmmaker Federico Fellino:
Tell the story as you would
tell a friend.
The book was written over
three or four years, he said.
Id write a part of it, work it
over, then another, put it away
for a while... But, I almost
died last year I realized that
despite taking care of myself
and as much as Id like to be,

I am not immortal which

spurred me to finish it.
He said to write the book is
somewhat like being a painter
to look at his life from a
distance and see how it all fits
together. Overall, he considers
himself one of luckiest people who ever lived. Which is
not to say his life was without
trauma and tears, and he is
very candid about that, including his own contributions to
some of those situations.
I just wanted to give it
to my kids and anyone else
who want might be interested; I needed to get it out of
my system. And how did his
children he has four, three
in their 40s from his second
marriage who all live in New
England, and a daughter in
California from his marriage
to the late producer Laura
Ziskin react to the book?
They loved it, he said,
adding The only people who
didnt like it were those who
were left out. Id get calls,
How come you didnt tell the
story about the time we...

THURS, SEPT 29 @ 8

Reflecting on his career, he

said, Ive always written for
myself more or less; when I
get a story I want to write, I
write... I love writing the
horror began the moment it
left my house, the push and
pull when youre working on a
project... Thats why the book
is self published; I didnt want
to deal with an agent or have
anyone telling me they wanted
me to rewrite it in a certain
way.
And in his opinion, The
best thing I ever wrote was
seen by the fewest people:
It was an episode for PBSs
American Playhouse titled A
Marriage: Georgia OKeeffe
and Alfred Stieglitz, staring Jane Alexander and
Christopher Plummer.
Summing up, he said, Life
is good and Im glad to be
alive.

2011 BMW X3 xDrive35i

Immediate attraction
by STEVEN MACOY

immediately.
Not long after turning in
the X3, we drove a similarly
sized and priced SUV from a
premium Japanese manufacturer. The BMW essentially
spoiled the experience for us.
The X3s competitor simply
didnt measure up.
Whats so special about the
X3? It rides more smoothly
than its predecessor, yet handles as a BMW should. Its
roomy and comfortable, even

BMWs redesign of its

popular X3 compact sportutility vehicle for the 2011
model year was, from our
perspective, an unqualified
success. We initially didnt
care for our first X3 test
car, the debut 2004 model,
though it did grow on us as
the days passed. The new
model elicited an entirely different reaction: We liked it

THE

in the back seat a rare trait

in this class. And BMW has
upgraded the interior materials and switchgear.
The X3 comes in two flavors: the xDrive28i, starting
at $36,750, and the xDrive35i,
$41,050. All-wheel drive is
standard on both. Our test
car, a 2011 xDrive35i with
several costly options, came
in above $50,000.
The heart of the xDrive35i
is a 3.0-liter, turbocharged
inline six-cylinder engine
that produces 300 horsepower and 300 lb.-ft. of torque.
BMWs weve driven in the
past tended to emphasize
smooth power delivery and
exquisite balance over raw
muscle, but our X3 was gratifying on both counts. It delivered highway fuel economy
in the mid-20s, but required
premium gasoline.
For the driver, the X3
offers two major challenges
the shifter and BMWs
iDrive system.
The former is essentially
an up-and-down lever with
two buttons on it, one to
put the eight-speed transmission in park, the other to
release the shifter to engage
reverse or drive. The iDrive
consists of a notched, multifunction wheel on the center
console. It operates a number
of cabin systems, including
audio, climate and navigation. When the iDrive first
appeared in high-end BMW
models a decade ago, many
drivers and critics complained bitterly that it was
too complicated, but over the
years BMW aficionados have
reached a comfort level with
the system.
Crash-test data arent
available yet, but past X3s
have earned Top Safety Pick
ratings from the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety.
The X3 typically has maintained average to aboveaverage reliability scores in
Consumer Reports magazine
owner surveys.
Some critics have noted
turbo lag, especially at low
speeds. We didnt notice this
trait, but for those who are
sensitive to such things, the
240-horsepower xDrive28i
comes equipped with a normally aspirated version of the
same engine.
Compared
with
the
Japanese SUV we drove
shortly after turning in the
X3, the BMW handled more
crisply, rode more smoothly
and seemed more refined.
It also was roomier, especially in the back seat, perhaps because the Japanese
SUV was more aggressively
styled. Thats not to say the
X3s lines lack character, but
its apparent the functionover-form contingent won
the arguments they needed
to win for the X3 to be a
truly enjoyable car to own
and drive.
