  • MAX:
    Once, you won't remember
    If you said Hollywood,
    hers was the face you'd think of
    Her face on every billboard
    In just a single week,
    she's get ten thousand letters
    Men would offer
    Fortunes for a bloom from her corsage
    Or a few strands of her hair
    Today, she's half-forgotten
    But it's the pictures that got small
    She is the greatest star of all
    Then, you can't imagine
    How fans would sacrifice themselves to touch her shadow
    There was a maharajah
    Who hanged himself with one of her discarded stockings
    She's immortal
    Caught inside that flickering light beam
    Is a youth which cannot fade
    Madame's a living legend;
    I've seen so many idols fall
    She is the greatest star of all
    JOE:
    When he'd gone,
    I stook looking out the window for a while.
    There was the ghost of a tennis court with faded markings and a sagging net.
    There was an empty pool where Clara Bows
    and Fatty Arbuckle must have swum 10,000 midnights ago.
    And then there was something else:
    the chimp's last rites, as if she were laying
    a child to rest.
    Was her life really as empty as that?
