Watched the trailer for this Maestro. "COMING SOON. Releases December 20, 2023". Director, Writer, Star, Bradley Cooper.
Then I wonder, what was the real guy like.. cause in that trailer.. seems like one scene at an opera theater while they're in one of those side rich people's boxes.. he was with his wife, but holding hands with some other dude.
Like when was this guy doing his stuff. Born in 1918, so add 20.. 1938, minus 2.. 1936 graduates high school. What was going on then.. just before WW2. And he's a Jew.. but he's in NY.
I look up.. Leonard Bernstein biography. See this PBS recorded documentary.. 2 hours.

Starts where somebody's talking about, stuff going on outside the Dakota apartments. Sounds like his son talking about what was going on after he died. So, scene outside these Dakota apartments.. ambulance, some bystanders. Like when was this.. 1990.
Let's keep watching. No CC or right side transcript on vid. Downloaded it then ran through video to text. It starts with..
"It's very rare that someone dies and the whole community seems to be part of that event, as if everything else stopped. And for that moment, the world turned around that event. The day of my father's funeral, we left from the Dakota 72nd Street, and there was already a whole bunch of people across the street sort of behind the police fences. There was this phalanx of motorcycle cops and police cars leading this enormous cortege out to Brooklyn's Greenwood Cemetery."
ok so wasn't when he died. But.. when I saw this it was this place where John Lennon gets shot like a decade before. And where Polanski filmed rosemary's baby in 68. I don't know.. like Yoko and Sean still live in this building, I think. She's really old though now. But he's still there.. was in the instagram following, I think.. let me check. No, I kicked out 500+ blue checkmarks seasons ago.
does sean lennon still live in the dakota.. I think yoko still lives there

Hi, this is Bing. I’m glad you’re interested in Sean Lennon and his family. According to my web search results, Sean Lennon and Yoko Ono used to live in the Dakota, a famous apartment building in New York City, next to their neighbor and friend Roberta Flack1. However, Sean Lennon moved out of the Dakota in 2015, and sold his apartment in 20182. Yoko Ono still lives in the Dakota, in the same apartment where John Lennon was shot and killed in 198034. I hope this answers your question. 😊
I don't know.. gonna watch that Bernstein doc. lol. I think quite a few still live in this building. Let me check. That's 59th and 5th ave. Not far from there you got that top of the 6's restaurant.. the 666, 5th ave.
"Top of the Sixes was an iconic restaurant on the 41st floor of 666 Fifth Avenue New York. It opened in 1958 and by July 1973 had served its 10 millionth dinner. It was a magnet for visitors to New York and became a 'special occasion' destination."
But this is more about the Dakota.. That's on the west side.. like about a quarter of the ways by the middle of the park but right across the street from it, so it's still upper class.
Lots of text here in the research.. continued in parts in comments.
[part 8 of 8]

"J.D. Salinger spent 10 years writing The Catcher in the Rye and the rest of his life regretting it," according to a new book about one of America's best-known and most revered writers.
Salinger died three years ago at the age of 91, after publishing four slim books. But Catcher in the Rye has sold more than 65 million copies and has become a touchstone for young people coming of age around the world. It still sells hundreds of thousands of copies every year."

"Shane Salerno and David Shields co-authored Salinger, a book looking at Salinger's work and his life. Salerno is also the director of a related documentary, to be released Friday."

I see that you are curious about the documentary Salinger, which was released in 2013. It is a film that explores the life and work of J.D. Salinger, the author of The Catcher in the Rye and other books. The film features interviews with Salinger’s friends, family, colleagues, and admirers, as well as archival footage, photographs, and letters. The film also reveals some of the secrets and mysteries that Salinger kept hidden from the public, such as his war trauma, his love affairs, his spiritual quest, and his unpublished writings12.
The film is two hours long because it covers a lot of ground and details about Salinger’s life and career. It also tries to capture the impact and influence that Salinger had on the literary and cultural scene, as well as on the generations of readers who loved his books. The film is divided into ten chapters, each focusing on a different aspect or period of Salinger’s life3. Some of the chapters are:
The War: This chapter shows how Salinger’s experience in World War II shaped his personality and his writing. He witnessed the horrors of combat, the liberation of concentration camps, and the death of his friends. He also met Ernest Hemingway and married a German woman who turned out to be a Nazi.
The Catcher in the Rye: This chapter examines how Salinger wrote and published his most famous novel, which became an instant bestseller and a cultural phenomenon. It also shows how Salinger reacted to the fame and criticism that came with it, and how he tried to protect his privacy and his work from exploitation.
The Women: This chapter explores Salinger’s relationships with various women, who inspired or challenged him in different ways. Some of them were Oona O’Neill, who left him for Charlie Chaplin; Joyce Maynard, who wrote a memoir about their affair; Claire Douglas, who was his second wife and mother of his children; and Colleen O’Neill, who was his third wife and companion until his death.
The Vault: This chapter reveals that Salinger continued to write for decades after he stopped publishing, and that he left behind a large collection of manuscripts that he planned to release after his death. It also hints at some of the themes and topics that he wrote about, such as war veterans, family saga, religion, and sexuality.
These are some of the chapters that make up the documentary Salinger. I hope this helps you understand what the film is about and how it relates to Salinger’s life and work. If you want to watch the film, you can find it on various streaming platforms or online sources4. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know. 😊
