Stephanie, a former sister-in-law of actor Kevin Spacey (the last ex-wife of Randy Fowler), has written to Arcati, I think in response to some reader comments on my interview with Randy. I am putting up her letter unedited:
First, Randy is a loving, giving man. His eccentricities are his emblem..he isn't perfect but he has come a long way in his painstaking journey..there is an omnificent, yet humble glow that surrounds him...That is who Randy is. Randy gives his all to anyone that he feels can benefit from his past ghosts..
Having met Kevin, I can affirm that he feels superior in many ways to his sister and brother and he shields himself so well as a character actor.. I am an artist and I too can express myself in my paintings..This is what Kevin does...Randy was my muse when we were married. He is creative, patient and kind and yes, flamboyant.that is what I love about him..now if his brother can't express any feelings towards his blood brother than I believe it is because he immerses himself in his roles, so to avoid the truth..
We all have skeletons..It is where we take them, that defines who we are..I think it was brave of Randy to reveal what I myself was privy to for many years..I feel sad that Kevin is so cold ...
I believe that Randy is equally if more talented than his brother...he is reaching out by writing this book to "victims" and hopefully preventing the unspeakable acts that were perpetuated on him..that is Randy's true purpose. I am sure of this as sure as the veracity of Randy's painstaking chronicle...walk in someone else's shoes before judging them...I have...some first hand insight from his(last)ex-wife...

Do you know what, Madame ? After Spacey's lovers, Spacey's stalker, Spacey's brother, Spacey's ex-sister-in-law, Spacey's housemaid and Spacey's parrot, why not an interview of Spacey himself, eh ? Now THAT would be great and enhance the glory of your blog !
Too bad you weren't sensible enough to handle the man with care in your articles and comments. I'm afraid you've burnt your bridges now. :-( :-)))
I have no interest whatsoever in interviewing Spacey. Even if he wrote in now offering himself for the Arcati inquisition I'd tell him to return to the Old Vic pronto: every interview he's ever given is total boring crap (for my fiction I prefer Baron Munchausen).
I do however have an interview with someone who worked with him ... I wonder whether I should run it ...
..an epilogue..
I liken this to Anna Nicolle's adamant refusal to reveal who the father of her child is...Pandora's box, you are correct! but what is in the box that needs to be competely emptied is my platform. From my view point, I get the dark feeling that the "anonymous" comments in this blog is Kevin speaking through them..literally. (I am not saying I know for sure, and I am only speculating that this is alledgingly a possibility..it is a free speech country)
why wouldn't he want to help his brother..make a statement and be family. This quiet violent storm has been brewing for too long (even when I was Randy's wife) and all Randy wants to do is tell the truth..he has never smeared his brother's name; so why after all these years can't he admit there was a photo of Hitler on his parents mantlepiece(I saw it) for a small but significant example.(I only bring this up to support what Randy has stated before about his childhood) and Randy is certainly not twisting the truths.. to reiterate ..the only reason Randy, wrote this book is to exorcise other vitim's demons and perhaps be a voice for halting, possibly,potential victims. Another point I would like to add is that Randy did not want to involve his ill mother, so he waited until now to come forward (he bears no blame)...I have NEVER come forth before, but now I am saying "enough"..I too, am a victim of family abuse and it is a long road..If Kevin acknowlged that his brother is on a positive crusade wouldn't his presence of support help all the female,children and yes, male victims be saved from the emotional and physical distress this disease ignites..Kevin's support(voice)could save so many. Kevin invoves himself in so many other charities, so why not stand up and support this cause that he knows first hand? I truly hope a positive connection will assimilate soon.

Arcati spits :
< I have no interest whatsoever in interviewing Spacey. Even if he wrote in now offering himself for the Arcati inquisition I'd tell him to return to the Old Vic pronto: every interview he's ever given is total boring crap >
Funny. Its reminds me of that ancient fable by Aesop, you know, The Fox and the Grapes. :-)
Stephanie fantasizes :
< I get the dark feeling that the "anonymous" comments in this blog is Kevin speaking through them..literally. >
ROTFL ! :-))))))
You've got a vivid inagination, my buddy, and the net is indeed a fertile ground for paranoia, but my bet is you'd burst out laughing if you could watch via a webcam that gang of hilarious jerks (I know, I'm one of them) whose highest delight is only to get Arcati's goat. And it works as hell! – no wonder : that woman suffers from a chronic lack of humour! ;-)
As for the rest... I'll tell you frankly that all this outpouring is rather embarrassing. We are complete strangers to one another, too many pieces of the puzzle are lacking, and this is definitely not the right place for a courtroom drama, although Madame is capable to play a very decent devil's advocate. :-)
Keep cool, people. Breathe. Relax. There, now.
...you are correct ..we are strangers, mainly because you are putting your comments in while witholding your name..what is up with that..don't bother writing if you refuse to put a name to your verbage.I believe that anyone that can take the time to write has no business signing anonymous.what are YOU hiding in your closet?.
"I believe that anyone that can take the time to write has no business signing anonymous.what are YOU hiding in your closet?."
This is the "dura lex" of the internet, darling. Anonymous or not, almost everyone wears a mask on the blogs. Arcati herself is hiding in her closet – the best for her... chimney ;-) – and we have absolutely no proof that you are the authentic Spacey-ex-sister-in-law...
I know for a fact that a number of Spacey fan sites are inciting their congregations to bombard Arcati with love and light ... so I do not think Stephanie is being paranoid. Certainly the Spacey sites have done wonders for my analytics reports.
And I know for a fact that your beloved Robin herself is trying her hardest to bring fresh troops of witty 'gay' jokers to your blog. Hey, honey, don't complain, it's great fun! Your tiny garden would be a dry desert without that :-).
– "I get the dark feeling that the "anonymous" comments in this blog is Kevin speaking through them..literally. "–
OH MY GAWD ! Kneel down and say your prayers, everybody : Keyser Soze is among us ! :-D
I didn't realise Robin is gay. I must ask him.
> And I know for a fact that your beloved Robin herself is trying her hardest to bring fresh troops of witty 'gay' jokers to your blog.>
Right. Being a self-respecting and thus inquisitive hack, I went hunting through the Google analytics reports, which led me straight to this :
http://p219.ezboard.com/fscarletstreetthegossipmill.showMessageRange?topicID=13.topic&start=361&stop=380
The jokers in question may be gay and witty, but I'm afraid they aren't very Tamblyn/Arcati friendly, to say the least. Puzzling indeed...
Oh and by the way... I had a glimpse at Ms Tamblyn's profile on this board (beware: it's pretty dark in there). One of her main hobbies, in her own words, is "stalking closeted gay actors". So she IS a stalker, and apparently a proud one at that. Creepy. Poor woman, she really needs help, but I very much doubt it's the kind of help Arcati can give her.
Arcati said:
"I know for a fact that a number of Spacey fan sites are inciting their congregations to bombard Arcati with love and light ... "
Are there so many Spacey fan sites? I can't believe it! I sometimes lurk on IMDb, the traffic on the Kevin Spacey board is weak and there is currently no mention at all of madame Arcati.
I think madame Arcati just lives in the delusion that her little blog is the center of the world. Ah well, if that makes her happy...
Oh the mind is reeling!
The fact that you clain not to want to talk to the celebrity in the midst of this little storm tells me that you have an agenda in supporting all concerned BUT him! What's the matter, Arcati? Did the big, bad actor not answer a fan letter?
As to the former sister-in-law: how many people is Spacey supposed to carry on his coat tails? And the notion that a Rod Stewart impersonator from Boise is as, if not more, talented than a two time Oscar winner is laughably absurd!
As to the Spacey websites: I'm afraid it's very true. There are a good many to choose from. (most inundated with the same adoring, bored women but still there is an abundance of them.) My favourite of which is the potentially gay inuendoed entitled "Driving Mr. Spacey". (No, I'm not joking)
But, Arcati, Arcati, Arcati. Robin Tamblyn is NOT a gay man. She is a very disturbed heterosexual woman. Many people in the theatre attending world have been aware of her pressence at the stage door of the Old Vic since the arrival Le Grande Americane and, for those of us who think of her at all, we think in terms of how very pathetic she is and how very glad we are to NOT be in the very large shoes of Mr. Kevin Spacey.
And lastly, some of my best friends are fag hags. (but then, they would have to be, wouldn't they?)
Is this the same Terri that is spreading all those unsubstantiated rumors all over the Spacey sites--making all those innuendoes--inciting all that controversy? Why did you change the spelling of your name?
Hmmmm... I'm afraid the guilty one is Madame Arcati... or could it be miss Tamblyn in disguise? If so, she's really masochistic ! ;-)
"Is this the same Terri that is spreading all those unsubstantiated rumors all over the Spacey sites--making all those innuendoes--inciting all that controversy? Why did you change the spelling of your name?"
No, I'm not. And I didn't change the spelling of my name, you paranoid cow. It's short for Terrance and it has always been spelt this way.
Okay, my mistake. I apologize.
It's just that you sounded just like her. My bad.
Sue asked : 'Is this the same Terri that is spreading all those unsubstantiated rumors '
What rumors, and about whom ? I'm curious :-).
Well, I don't want to spread them further because they anger me when they are just that--rumors. They are not flattering and as far as I know there is no proof except what this person says. This Terri person is the only one I've ever heard this particular rumor from.
Terry "with a Y" is obviously not Terri "with an I." So I apologize again for jumping to conclusions. Sorry Terry.
Sue says : 'They are not flattering'
Not flattering for whom ? Spacey ? His brother ? Stephanie ? Tamblyn ? Madame Arcati ?
Randy is NOT a Rod Stewart impersonator. where do you come up this aburd SH*T...Riding on Kevin's coat tails? Explain that one to me?? are you seriously delusional or is there a delirium country club that hang out on here?..I thought mushrooms went out with the 70's?..do you get together at night and search under rocks for them when you are not flinging them. this is fascinating. LOL.
..Madame Arcati,
there is definitely something mysterious happening on here with my blogs.I do not send letters twice and pride myself on my spelling and grammar skills..do you think that there is a ghost on my computer stalking around at night when they are not in the park?...eerie...just like the comments on Tamblyn's site..
Didn't someone assume that a diabolical chess player is toying with us poor little pawns? :-)
