Long goodbye

Elliot Gould

Back in 1973, when I first saw The Long Goodbye, at the Trans-Lux East on 3rd Avenue in Manhattan, I did not like it. My mind set at that point in time was pure Bogart. I left the theater thinking …

Elvis called him crazy; Streisand called him hubbie; Groucho Marx called him to change a lightbulb. Tinseltown legend Elliott Gould, never short of an A-list anecdote, talks free love, fractious marriages… and how he bounced back after making himself unemployable.
