Here we are again. We’ve gathered at the tables of a virtual sidewalk cafe in Hollywood. We’re here in the movie capital of the U.S. to discuss our original stories for another week. Our hostess for this weekly event is the talented and gracious author and artist Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. This is the coming together of the Friday Fictioneer’s group. The challenge is to each write a story with no more than 100 words. It’s supposed to include a beginning, middle, end, and follow the picture prompt for the week. The prompt this week was supplied by our hostess herself, Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. Thanks again Rochelle.
The link for all the other stories is as follows:

UNFORGETABLE By P.S. Joshi
Mamie Brunfield had been a big, big movie and TV star in the 1950’s. Now in her 80’s, with a great memory, she was going to write her memoir. She had known many men intimately and worked with many stars still alive. Fear in Hollywood was living and breathing.
She hired a ghost writer to come to her spacious mansion perched in the Hollywood hills.
Earnest Dithing was seriously thinking of suing Mamie for slander.
“What did I ever see in the old goat?” he asked his young, shapely blond wife.
“Will I lose my bee-oo-ti-ful diamonds Ernie-wernie?” she whimpered.
Musings on Life & Experience 
I have a feeling that if she loses her diamonds then he loses her. Call it a hunch.

I was hoping his name was Earnest Dithering. 🙂 Seems like these days, no one’s ashamed of anything and would scarcely care what was written about them.

Earnest Dithing — what a great name! And what a true picture of Hollywood types, and of me at 80 if I were ever to have the money to land the bee-oo-ti-ful shapely blonde wife.

Dear Susan,
I loved this tell all tale. Spot on and revealing. Your name generator sounds interesting. I just use the phone book if my imagination fails. Well done.

Earnie Wernie sounds like a real Sugar Daddy. I heard there was no such thing as bad press in Hollywood. What all those fading stars really fear is no press at all – to be forgotten and irrelevant. Excellent offering this week, Susan. You had me grinning from ear to ear.

Let’s hope for Mamie’s sake that lawsuit takes place in California where libel laws often get overturned in favor of the First Amendment. If there’s truth to her claims in the memoir, Ernie won’t stand a chance.
All my best,

He should be pleased; maybe he’ll get a call and resuscitate his career. And so keep young Sugarkins. The dog!

You paint a great picture of the type of close-knit society that Hollywood must be, with everyone knowing everyone else’s secrets (and participating in them too). Everyone, beware the memoir. 🙂
