The Texan began developing a unique act, inspired by the magic not only of these death-defying feats but also of disguising his gender, only revealing he was a man at the end, taking off his wig and parading around with a masculine gait. As he told the New Yorker, “I’d always read a lot of Shakespeare and thinking that those marvelous heroines of his were played by men and boys made me feel that I could turn my specialty into something unique.”

Sooo much eye candy here. Not all to my taste (and *none* to my budget ha ha) but if French provincial is your thing, there's definitely some inspiring rooms, gardens, and stuff of daydreams.

Dr. Max Jacobson, aka “Dr. Feelgood,” injected amphetamine-based concoctions into the arms of celebrities and powerful people including JFK, Alfred Hitchcock, Truman Capote, Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe and more.
Capote described the “vitamin shots” as
… instant euphoria. You feel like Superman. You're flying. Ideas come at the speed of light. You go seventy-two hours straight without so much as a coffee break. You don't need sleep, you don't need nourishment. If it's sex you're after, you go all night. Then you crash -- it's like falling down a well, like parachuting without a parachute. You want to hold onto something and there's nothing out there but air.
