What a Life Mary Guillermin had married to John Guillermin,
famed director of over 34 films, including the Burning Inferno, Rapture and King Kong
Her new book, John Guillermin, The Man, The Myth, The Movies.
I was married to John for the last 16 years of his life. We met in London in
1998 and fell in love at first sight. He was a wildly difficult but
passionate and exciting, loving and tender contradiction of a man. He is
still, five years after his death, the love of my life and I am thrilled to
have brought this collection of wise and knowledgeable voices of film to
bear witness to his talent and accomplishments. As for myself, like John, I
was brought up in the sprawling suburbs of London, 27 years apart. We both
hated the grey never-endingness of surburbia and lived together in the
countryside, Essex, Malibu, and lastly Topanga, CA, where I still live. We
both love(d) the expansive, enthusiastic atmosphere of southern California.
