Dory Previn said to me in 1986, "I hope that someday you write about my songs and life the kind of 
psychosexual study you did of Sinatra's work." We made tapes, starting that year, and recorded up to 2000, with this in mind or me writing a one-woman show about her. Now, my hopes are set more on me and someone who is equally passionate about Dory, making a film. 
Here she talks about the background of her songs Theme from Valley of the Dolls,  Leomon Haired Ladies and Beware of Young Girlks. The latter two were directed at Mia Farrow.
