Henry & June
Henry Miller: All right, I'll tell you. June appeared like an angel, and I offered her a fool's faith. She was a taxi dancer. I paid my dime, she put her head on my shoulder, but then the lies began. She told me her mother was a gypsy and her father was a count. Later, I saw a film and realized she swiped her whole childhood right out of the film.
Anaïs Nin: And so?
Henry Miller: So I married her.
