New York Doll

New York Doll

p.s. This photo is a simulation of this one.

We went to see New York Doll, the story of how Killer Kane found religion. Specifically, the Mormons.

Here is an interview with the film maker, Greg Whiteley.

One of my favorite parts, there were so many, including the sweet senior-aged Sisters at the LA Family History Center who said they wouldn’t mind being his groupies even at their age, was after the entire movie was over, after the credits were done, David Johansen, a.k.a. Buster Poindexter, sang ‘A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief.

Can’t recommend it highly enough.

  1. Through some random link-following, I saw this page and clicked the link to the ‘simulation original.’ It was really wild to see the Bennions, having once lived in Mt Pleasant Utah, myself. I’ve been to their respective studios, part of a field trip from when I attended Wasatch Academy, and it was surreal and nice to see them again.

    Thanks for reminding me!
