“The biggest takeaway from my long-distance relationship with Floyd Byars was that I optioned an original screenplay he had co-written with his writing partner, Laurie. Another takeaway was a case of crabs picked up on our only vacation together in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. I noticed a crab in my eyelashes when I was in the airplane bathroom on my way back to JFK. I feared these little critters might be other places as well, so I spent the next four hours squirming in my seat, itchy and miserable. On the taxi ride home, I made the driver stop at an all-night pharmacy so I could buy a bottle of Kwell. But despite the footsies and the crabs, I liked the premise of his (their) Making Mr. Right script.” DirectorsScreenwritersScreenwritingCrabsFeminist AuthorsLiceFilm MakingFeminist MemoirMovie TriviaFilm Director Quotes Book:Desperately Seeking Something: A Memoir About Movies, Mothers, and Material Girls Source: Desperately Seeking Something: A Memoir About Movies, Mothers, and Material Girls
