The listings for this weekend’s radio in the UK are bulging with previews for tomorrow’s airing of the BBC’s Radio 2 three-part series ‘GOLDEN YEARS: THE DAVID BOWIE STORY‘ (March 11th between 7:00 – 8:00pm), for which David gave extensive new interviews. Here is a brief synopsis for Part One of the series, ‘CHANGES‘ :
‘This first programme follows Bowie’s early career, from ‘Space Oddity‘ to ‘Ziggy Stardust‘ and ‘Spiders from Mars‘. He talks about the impact he made on the pop scene in the early 70s, his relationship with Tony Visconti, the early recordings at the legendary Haddon Hall, his introduction to Andy Warhol and the New York Underground scene, and how his relationship with his mentally ill brother affected the writing on ‘Space Oddity‘.’
The series is not the first David has done for the BBC, and if this particular one is anywhere near as good as previous Bowie career retrospectives, then it promises to be splendid stuff indeed. Contributions this week come from (among others), producers Gus Dudgeon and Tony Visconti, musician and all-round funny bloke Rick Wakeman and SuperFan extraordinaire, Boy George.

(A friendly word of warning to Steve K; taping from radio broadcasts without a home taping licence in the UK is illegal and remains, along with treason, one of the few crimes punishable by death, allegedly.)

Candy Clark, an actress who performed in ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth‘ has a website with info about her and the movies she has been in. Shes has been fortunate enough to be involved with two classics, namely ‘American Graffiti‘ (for which she received a ‘Best Supporting Actress Nomination’ for an Academy Award), and ‘The Man Who Fell To Earth‘ with Bowie. Here is a clip from her website:
“I was the first person cast in ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth‘, for the part of ‘Mary Lou‘. The character was quite a challenge. I had to play ‘Mary Lou‘ in various stages of her life, from 20 to about 60 years of age. On some days I would be an older ‘Mary Lou‘ in her late fifties and sit for hours while they applied my makeup. Other days I would play the ages in between. Since movies are usually shot out of sequence, it was very challenging because I had to remember what age I was and where we were in the story at all times. I also played David Bowie’s wife from the other planet and at one point I even played David Bowie in a scene! Can you find me? I thought David Bowie was perfect for the part of ‘Thomas Jerome Newton‘ and WOW, what a stellar performance he gave!”

We’re delighted to let you know that the Bowie penned piece in the New York Times for March 19th is a completely new and different piece to the one that was published in Europe late last year. This new piece was commisioned by The Times for their magazine after they had read the popular European story.
The April 2000 UK edition of GQ Magazine has a featureon their choices for the ‘50 Best Dressed Men inBritain‘.
“In one of the most exhaustive searches ever conductedwe contacted 200 prominent media celebrities and askedthem to choose the three men they think are ‘simplythe best’.
As well as soliciting nominations from GQ?s staff andcontributors we sent questionnaires to well-knownstyle sultans (Peter York, Stephen Bayley, AAGill, Robert Elms, Tara Palmer-Tompkinson, VivienneWestwood, Paul Smith etc.) as well as to dozens ofjournalists, artists, restaurateurs, fashiondesigners and celebrities (Fran Healey, Johnny Vaughn,DAVID BOWIE, Meg Matthews, Oliver Peyton, Zoe Ball,Chris Ofili, Michael Caine etc.).
We asked them to nominate the three British men theythought were the most well-dressed, awarding threepoints for their first choice, two for theirsecond, and one for their third.”
