Excellent piece. It's..."Angel eyes."<br /><br />Excellent piece. It's always nice to read something like that intertwined with personal experiences of discovery and first impressions; which you do nicely.<br /><br />Why did Van Cleef not attain stardom like Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson? Probably because he had such a unique and unmistakable look. ("Angel eyes.") While Eastwood and Bronson have a look their own, one could imagine encountering those men in public, but, for whatever reason, outright missing them. But with Van Cleef, you'd have to be 'out there' or wearing heavy sunglasses not to see him passing you on the street... and, perhaps, you are wearing sunglasses for that very reason.<br /><br /><br /><i>"Marching to the beat of my own drum came with a dear price: being almost always alone made me easy prey to get picked on."</i><br /><br />What? What the heck kinda town did you grow up in?... Backwardsville, U.S.A.? I'm kidding. But seriously: I'm sorry to hear that. Obviously it's part of growing up, and an element of high school existence, but your wording of your own experience leaves me "disappointed" in certain folk. The theme of 'home town', coincidentaly enough, leads me to my next posting which I wrote this afternoon after reading a piece by New York City-based underground filmmaker Casandra Stark Mele.
