In the story, I said that we went to see “Batman” at Mann’s Chinese Theater. My journals don’t actually say what the movie was. Batman would have been a bit later on, but I wanted to give the impression that we had “The Perfect Date,” so I picked Batman. It probably was something pretty mundane. I tried to visit Mann’s Chinese Theater (originally Grauman's Chinese Theatre, now TLC Chinese Theater) every time I visited Los Angeles. Besides Madison Square Gardens, it’s probably the most famous movie theater in existence. Honestly, whatever the movie was, I doubt I would have paid much attention as I was deeply smitten and fascinated by my companion. I think I’ve given a pretty accurate impression of how deeply passionate Julie was. There are a lot of things that happened that day that I’ll never write about. Many years later, and all that’s still pretty personal. That Sunday still counts as one of my favorite days ever.
