(Joyce seems to have legally changed her birth year to 1960, but I know better!) But having it pop up on my Threads feed the same day one of my own memories about everyone’s favorite gender-bending aspiring journalist appeared in my Facebook memories definitely made me smile. Longtime readers might remember that I have a tangential connection to this wonderful ’80s teen flick: It was shot in my second hometownsadly I never ran into William Zabka oncewith one of my classmates scoring a supporting role (back when it was called "Lady’s Man") and featured a scene at the Valley of the Sun’s famed " beach ," aka the wave pool known as Big Surf . But what I’m just learning while doing a little research for this post is that, according to Wikipedia, Hyser was in a four-year relationship in the 1980s with Bruce Springsteen and then subsequently lived with a pre-Madonna Warren Beatty for a year and a half. (She was also linked to David Geffen!) Bruce Springsteen and Joyce Hyser in Paris (1981) From "Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America": When Beatty introduced [Hyser] to his friends, he often referred to her as "Springsteen’s former girlfriend." He seemed inordinately proud of her. He’s say: "Look at her. Isn’t she just the greatest?" Hyser recalls, "He seemed genuinely taken with everything I said or did. I had this guy who was worshipping the ground I walked on, and it was Warren Beatty. It was really greatfor a while." The book also gives details about Beatty’s fascination with her being Jewish"not the self-hating type in Hollywood"and how she reminded him of Natalie Wood and that he used his friendship with Bob Dylan (who was in a long-term relationship with a friend of Hyser’s) to get to her. Beatty was so secretive that Dylan thought he was a Mason. Needless to say this is all pretty shocking to me. (I don’t really understand how a man could be sexually attracted to a woman.) And now I have to wonder: Does this mean two of my generation’s biggest stars are therefore queer or at the very least pan? :-) Posted by Kenneth M.
