Hollywood Screenwriter Mark Victor: ‘I’ve Worked 50 Years and Now I Have Nothing’

EXCERPT:

VICTOR: “There’s all kinds of, you know, of stuff you collect over a career of 30, 40 years, 50 years. Then you when you walk away, the first — I don’t know, the first emotion is a little bit denial, than cynicism. Sort of, you know, to my own mind joking around, well, I’ve worked 50 years and now I have — I have nothing. I have no clothes, no furniture, no house. And you move on to, like everyone in this situation, starting — I still have a mortgage to adapt. What’s next? Where do I find housing? You know, you start that whole process because you have to take one step ahead of another. But what’s lost in that house with all of my wife’s family’s things and ourselves, those things aren’t ever going to be repaired. You have the memories, but that stuff bothers you more than, you know, a piece of art or a fancy vase or something like that.”
