Story 57
James Mason - In 1965, I was working as a sales clerk in Brentano's, the bookstore on 5th Avenue in New York. One quiet Saturday morning, James Mason walked in. I had always liked him for his silky and sinister British accent and because he played Captain Nemo in "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea," the very first movie I had ever seen. Mason sauntered over to me and asked if we carried any pop art posters. Wanting to oblige, I remembered some posters of Batman and Superman that were on sale in the reproduction department and brought them over to him. "How do I know that these are real pop art posters and not just something someone had printed up?" he breathed. "Well, I don't think that would really matter, would it?" I answered with what I thought at the time was remarkable cleverness. But Mason wasn't convinced. He murmured a half-hearted apology and drifted off to another part of the store.
