We hadn't seen Elaine until recently since she wnt to Europe for a few weeks in December, 1973 (see entry for december 14, 1973). She had been difficult to get in touch with. About two months ago I visited her in her apartment. Cathy (cathrine Murphy) sent Elaine an announcement for her show and she came to the opening. Last month we went to her house for dinner. Two weeks ago we ran into her at Robert Wilson's A Letter for Queen Victoria (we had gone with Suzanne Mantell and Stephen Soule). We ivited Elaine for dinner and here she was. Alison Beall was also at dinner, they hadn't met before. We had asparagus with hollandaise sauce, saute de veau marang0 (brown veal stew with tomatoes and mushrooms), brown rice, salad, fruit, banana oatmeal cookies (which I made) and coffee. Alison took Elaine home to Manhattan.]]> 1977-05-08 (roll date, image # 4). Elaine Shipman]]> Elaine came early for posing so that I could take photographs f her for a modeling portfolio.
