Contexto
Artie the movie star. Mike Nichols telling everyone what a great, natu ral actor he was. So much presence. So much feeling in his dialogue. And so, so handsome. Movie star looks, they kept saying. And Paul? The short ness, the chubby face that made him look chunky even when he was mus cle bound and, increasingly, trim-and just when he thought it couldn't get worse, he started losing his hair. His friends in England could already see it when he was twenty-two, twenty-three years old. Paul became skilled with his comb, developing new and increasingly convoluted patterns to cover the pink top of his otherwise bushy head.
