Writer’s Lives Measuring up to What They Write Part II?
While my past career as a public servant did inhibit my creativity for many years, it was not dull.
I’ll just recount, by way of example, that it let me meet two Hollywood stars who were scouting locations in New Zealand for a proposed movie. They were John Derek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Derek ) and his wife Bo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo_Derek ).
At the time, I held the position in New Zealand of Deputy Director of National Parks and Reserves and got to front for the Directorate. While Bo Derek had obvious appeal for her looks, gender and stardom I was somewhat more overwhelmed by meeting her husband, a lead actor in adventure movies I went to in my childhood. All the same, I’ll always have a memory of Bo, in Jeans, sitting cross-legged on the carpet of the chief executive’s office at the government agency I was working for.
Afterwards, some of my colleagues used the internal mail (then paper) to send me magazine pictures of Bo wearing much less than she did when I met her.
Shame on them.
