interviewing Jim Bidgood:
How did you find all of the different boys that were featured in Pink
Narcissus?
Bidgood: Well, there was a fellow that I know by the name of Don
Brooks, who is in the movie, actually he was the Angel … We’d be
working there on the set and stuff, Don would go out, sometimes at one
or two in the morning, and sometimes would not be seen (I think he
went home and took a nap) because he was gone for hours, but he
would go out on a “talent search.” It was the day of the flower
children, you know, and he would bring back sometimes a very large
group of people they found on the street. One guy, one night a gun fell
out of his pants on the floor. I mean they could have killed us all. And
my God, they were straight, half of them had never done anything like
[that] … and they did it, they marched through it. Those were the days.
I don’t want to be one of those “those were the days” [people], but that
was a very unique space and time … The ’60s and ’70s were really an
amazing time.
