Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon Page #6

,

But you have to live with the paparazzi.

And not everyone wants to be seen when in the water,

like a beached whale.

An idiot tomes some pictures of me without

Shirt Four Seasons

- And for two consecutive years was there

"Beached Whale" in the Enquirer.

The hit in the refrigerator as

inspiration to lose weight. It did not work.

Shep pledged to deal with the problem.

Sounded like a mafioso. "Ready"

Did you kill him?

That would be fine,

but agreed with him.

- The phone rang.

- Hello Derek. Is Shep.

"Yes, Shep, I was."

"Then. How do we do?"

- "Both should be happy."

- I took some time...

... And I just ask you to let me make some shots

occasionally

The wedding was in Shep,

and could be seen from the beach.

Did not want to take pictures of people.

- So spoke with Derek.

- I photographed the wedding of Tom Arnold, where Shep.

Derek walked over and took a picture,

and no one else, not people on the beach.

I knew who the other paparazzi

and had a guy on the beach,

- Keeping out two other photographers

and I follow him.

I wanted to keep happy happy Shep

celebrities, mostly.

Shep never speaks of revenge

- Find ways to work things out.

Shep not the stars dazzle,

but with women.

My favorite girlfriend Shep, the first, was Winona

With that felt more connection.

Met Winona Williams in the 70s on a blind date.

Era model, very beautiful, that night she moved.

Then came his daughter Mia.

Live together for three years.

Unfortunately, parted,

and moved to the east coast.

I did not see them for 15 years.

In 1991 Winona

called me and said that Mia was dead.

And for the funeral

saw these four young, beautiful angels.

I did not know that Mia had children.

I told Winona, I have resources,

I do not know if I have emotions, but I have resources

"If you are you going to raise for the next 18 years,

I'll pay for it."

Saw a lot of kids, they were hers

,

- And he loved her so much,

that motivated the decision.

- And he loved her so much,

decision was consolidated.

- In a few days I bought a house for them,

moved, and began the journey.

- Here comes Chase

This is our beautiful home.

I took a year before meeting,

I was busy with my clients

- And I probably had a little scary.

But eventually I decided to visit them.

's A big kiss!

Shortly after we had met with Shep,

then took us on vacation to Disney World.

I had always wanted to go but never had as a child

.

I grew up without parents. My mom died when I was three.

So the entry of this man,

this father figure who helped us grow

- and helped us understand the world

was really a blessing.

Was one thing to support them and give them gifts like children

- But he was there all the time.

I met them when the children were small.

When going for a swim, then came to my house

- We bathed and accompanied me to cook on the grill.

Know these kids long

and I feel a great love for them.

- I call Shep grandfather.

- He is a father figure and role model.

- I love it.

- We love each other.

I always had the hope of getting a

family, and suddenly I was there.

Hello.

He loves children.

My sister had a baby.

Never seen her like this, cradling,

is a side Shep did not know.

He would be a great father,

and I can see having a child.

He has always been,

family oriented.

Always knew that energy, family and love

are what drives the artist.

The word "mensch" is synonymous with Shep.

(Yiddish word for someone noble and full)

A mensch is reliable,

and he is always there for you-

- In good times and bad

Shep has helped many,

the have been quite hard.

Shep has taught me loyalty,

because he is so loyal.

Carolyn's daughter, Lola,

died of sudden infant death syndrome.

Carolyn

called and said that juntramos us

wanted to get away from England.

The memory of Lola made him very painful.

Carolyn received with open arms.

She wanted to make films,

so I started to do them.

- We Did "The Duellists."

- The first film by Ridley Scott.

- Won at Cannes in 1977.

... Ridley Scott "The Duellists."

- Also did "Roadie".

- There were my clients: Alice and Blondie.

Dimnos Then we realized that we did not like the movie studios

- So we began Island Alive.

We pioneered the American independent cinema.

Carolyn was the first woman president of a study

.

Thanks to Shep, I was the only woman

could approve movies.

We had a very low budget, but he gave me

leeway.

- We made incredible movies.

- First we bought was "Koyaanisqatsi".

People thought we were crazy, the title was unpronounceable

- And no actors, no narration,

but we believed in it.

Made "Red Headed Stranger".

(Film about Willie Nelson, 1975)

I had to do the film,

and Shep could distribute.

Think we won 7 or $ 8 with her.

- "Kiss of the Spider Woman".

- The Oscar winner William Hurt is.

We do not compare it to anything.

Alive was Miramax, before Miramax

- I think Harvey Weinstein would agree.

- Not at all.

Early in my career, I read a book called

"Billion Dollar Baby".

In it was a character, Shep Gordon

wielding a troop of madmen.

I wanted to make a rock version of

"Citizen Kane" with Shep: "Citizen Insane".

Probably the role was not for me, because Shep is fierce

I.

- Okay, Alice?

- Yes, come.

Met Shep Gordon in 1991

when we did "Wayne's World".

Mike wanted to use

"Eighteen" and "School's Out"

- But I had an agenda.

- Shep said:

"How about if they use some of

new album?" I said "What if no".

He replied:
"I start the

filming in about two weeks have no choice.".

Was able to take a strong position.

Reasonable, but strong.

Said "I read the script The band will play only eight seconds.."

No one will notice.

"School's Out If you put in the closing credits

think it was that."

Stay here, hang out with us.

Cheers, yes, we can stay to hang out with you.

With Alice Cooper...

We are not worthy,

are not worthy.

Since that day we spent at each airport,

hear "I am not worthy" hundreds of times

The red carpet was filled

some of the biggest names in the film industry.

's A Dior dress.

Thanks for asking.

Met Sharon Stone at the Cannes Film Festival.

"Total Recall" came out,

and I was there with -

- Michael Douglas, Mick Jagger

and Roman Polanski.

The party was in the home built for Josephine Napoleon

-

- And that was surrounded by water.

It was absolutely wonderful.

- Sharon entered the room.

- She was incredibly beautiful.

- She entered and presented to Michael and me.

- Said "Oh, what a beautiful home."

- "Thanks," said Shep.

- "I can show you around."

I did not say it was mine, but he hinted

.

"Want to show you around?"

"Thank you. I love it."

And I saw no more that day.

Our little ballet opened.

We were together for a few years.

Sharon, like other women, I was first attracted by its Beauty-

- But there is great depth in it, is

a spiritual person.

Sharon asked me

I would meet with the Dalai Lama.

His Holiness talked about compassion,
