The Ranger Who Told All About Anais Nin's Wild Life

The obituary of the tall young man in the photo relates mainly to the adventurous sex life of the demure little lady in the chair.

Somewhat after this picture was taken, but well within the time of Anais Nin's multiple marriages and affairs, she attended a meeting of the film society some friends and I were setting up in West Hollywood. As the evening wore on, it became apparent that our noted poet guest was growing impatient with our project debates. I sort of assumed that she found our film interests not really to her taste; maybe too many "B" - for banal - movies.

I was probably wrong about that. I now think that she found our attractive young group were too interested in cinema and she had come looking for sex.

Sorry, Anais.
