New York Doll (2005)
Heartwarming and Heartbreaking.
I had the pleasure of watching the film with an old friend. We met by chance in the theater. We are Dolls fans. Am am glad that I got to see what happened to him. He was a lovely man. Everyone said so. I met him in 1975 and he really seemed sweet and I was happy to see that through his journey he remained the same. The sad part was he lived for the Dolls. He talked daily about his band and how one day he would get back with them and all would be alright again. The filmmaker was at the screening and during the Q&A period he was asked, "If Arthur had lived, what do you think would have happened?" he said, "Without sounding cruel or insensitive, I think that him passing at the time he did was the kindest thing to have happened to him. He lived for the day that the band played again. They did, he was treated like the rock-star he was, 5* hotels, with limos and adoration.... and then he had to go back to his 'regular' job. He had fulfilled his dream. He was loved and he still is loved. We miss him."
