Description

I was driving in L.A. in late 2011 one evening and I began to have some thoughts about my father. I quickly realized that I knew very little of his past. It wasn't because we didn't speak--we did, but it was usually about surface stuff--work, relatives, the news of the day. By then I no longer lived in L.A. (I had moved half an ocean away, to Hawaii) and our conversations were often brief. Sometimes I would only see him once or twice a year. By this time he had experienced two heart attacks and was getting up there in age. In fact, he was pushing 80. All of these realizations left me sad: If he were to pass, I would have known so little about him. I was especially curious about his childhood and about his parents and grandparents. He never spoke about his grandparents and I began to wonder why.I recalled stories about his escape from communist Hungary--which is to say, about his three escapes, back-to-back, and his adventures finding his way to Austria, then to New York, and finally home, to Beverly Hills. I knew there were anecdotes featuring crazy sex and drugs in the wild days of the late 1960s, and many other adventures. I felt that his story would be interesting. At least it would be for me. He had occasionally talked about writing a book about his life, but he had never gotten around to it. Maybe I could write it for him--or, at least, help it get written. That is, perhaps I could give him a gift of his memoirs. Why not? I thought. At the very least it would be fun.So I contacted a couple of guys I knew in Hollywood. One was an artist friend in Santa Monica and the other was a writer I had worked with on a script. They each referred me to someone who could help. Both were professional writers. I interviewed them and chose one named Ellis Weiner to write my dad's story. During my first conversation with Ellis, he seemed to really enjoy hearing about my father's adventures. He laughed out loud while I talked about some of my father's escapades in Los Angeles during the late '60s and early '70s, like attending orgies in the Hollywood Hills, doing drugs with celebrities, and even once rooming with a porn star in Bel Air. Ellis was an experienced writer in many fields and had published over 20 books and many magazine pieces. But two things stood out to me about Ellis. First, he liked to write in the comedy genre; second, he was very interested in my father's story. He had great enthusiasm for it.We decided to record my father's interviews with Ellis, to transcribe them verbatim, and polish the final result. We tried to keep my father's reminiscences in a linear timeline, from early childhood to the present day. This was Ellis's suggestion and I agreed with him. There were over a dozen interviews during 2012. Then Ellis did a couple of follow up interviews in late 2017.All of them attempt to answer the question, How did a guy with very little education and almost no English language skills literally escape from communist Hungary in the middle of the Cold War and end up hanging with some outlandish characters straight out of Hollywood? One answer is, he's been a free spirit all his life and never shied away from adventure. But there's more to it than that. So here is my father's story. I hope you enjoy it.
