RAGOUT VON ERDSCHWAMMERIN
Haven´t received my screener copy of the new biopic CoCo Before Chanel starring Audrey Tatou. I am anxious to see it because my actor friend Allesandro Nivola is in the picture. I first met handsome Allesandro and his lovely wife the British actress Emily Mortimer through Milena and Martiniano of Los Super Elefantes, oops i mean Elegantes.
The Nivolas lived in Echo Park. I wonder if they still reside in Los Angeles. Allesandro comes from a priveledged background. His father was an academic and his grandfather is the Italian sculptor Constantine Nivola. His mother is an old money Boston braumel. He has had a very low key acting career in movies like Loves Labour Lost, Mansfield Park, Face/Off, Inventing the Abbotts, and Laurel Canyon with Frances McDormand who almost did a performance piece with Los Super Elegantes at Peres Projects in Chinatown, but she backed out at the last minute
