| Without doubt the most interesting person I've ever interviewed, Carlos Lozano was Salvador Dali's playmate, muse and confident in the 20 years leading up to his death in 1989. Carlos is a stage actor, dancer and choreographer in his own right but we didn't even manage to cover that side of his life in our enthusiasm, so sorry Carlos! The interview took place at writer Clifford Thurlow's delightful house in Chelsea on the Sunday morning before the launch of Carlos' memoirs, 'Sex, Surrealism, Dali and Me' and myself and Nic were completely exhausted by the time it finished at midday. Although Dali had limited experience in film, his collaboration with Luis Bunuel and the stories surrounding the stars that visited him will astound anyone. I obviously tried to keep the film line going throughout the interview but it was in vain, and found myself utterly enthralled in privileged gossip glee with this special insight into the life of one of the century's true enigmas. So, I apologise. Whether you enjoy Dali's work or not, this is a terribly interesting tale. The book, written as a series of scenes depicting Carlos' time with Dali, has created a bit of a storm with great interest from production companies and a certain Oscar-winning British director looking to make their second feature. As we've been lucky enough to get a good view of the eye of this storm, we'll keep you informed as it spreads.
