Very Sad...Ed Wood favorite and songwriter for Elvis, Dolores Fuller gone the way of Ed, Tor, Vampira and Bela. She's in good company....

I met Dolores a couple times at conventions and found her to be a charmer.  She was a combination of regal lady and tough dame, great fun to talk to--one time she reminisced about her friend, muscle-man Steve Reeves, who had recently passed, and what a great guy he was--another time, she talked about working with Elvis Presley!  She had a wildly and widely divergent career in film and music and without a doubt left her mark.  Job well done, Miss Fuller!  Rest now.

Sad news indeed. Coincidentally, I have been re-reading Nightmare of Ecstasy.

I loved "Nightmare of Ecstasy", read it ravenously. Its culled mostly from direct interview transcripts. Nice even when some interviews contradict, and that itself is part of the fascination and enigma of Ed Wood.th it.

Dolores was very sweet in person, and a great sport considering how Sarah Jessica Parker played her and spoke of her, without ever meeting her, at the time of "Ed Wood" 's release. I asked her about Captain DeZita, who played the Devil figure in "Glen or Glenda", and she snared, "Oh... that was one of those weirdos Ed knew, booked strippers"  Interestingly, she seemed more proud of anything she had done, of the song of her Nat King Cole had recorded, "Someone to Tell it To".  Rest well, Dolores.

I really enjoyed the book first time around and am enjoying reading it again but what a sad, sad ending for him. The book offers many stories and interpretations of Ed Wood and his life by those who knew and worked with him. I still wonder almost twenty years after the book was published, what Kathy Woods did with her life after the death of Ed Wood before her own passing in 2006.
