Cathy Smith

[jj]

... searched and couldn't find her in the Subject of any prior thread

I understand she saw Gord recently and is doing relatively well, good to hear

Cathy Smith : Daniel Richler discuss John Belushi...

haven't read her bio/story ...it seems like she's got an Almost Famous (with an edge!) potential for a film subject...i think a young Sigourney Weaver could have played her...i think the film would have to start before this http://torontodreamsproject.blogspot...n-belushi.html

wonder which other songs she sang on Sundown, and if the tapes still exist

always thought there should be a Classic Albums: The Making of Sundown

anyhow, i'm glad she didn't lose her balance here (or total Gord's tour bus)....

Somehow I have no real compassion for her. She played her game and was a person who did what she felt she needed to get in with the celebs, ala groupie style, and it seems she paid her dues for her lifestyle. Unfortunately, she helped John out of his, but likely someone else would have anyway, sooner or later. She was a good singer, and she just never really got anywhere, many good singers never do. Her only real concern to me, is that she was Gordons girlfriend for awhile, and at a time when they both weren't too well in control of their lives due to drugs and booze. Fortunately Gordon found his way out before it ruined him too.
