Something Wilder
KM ighty-two-year-old Billy Wilder has directed everyone from Swanson to Milland to Monroe and has a shelf of six Oscars as well as the Academy's highest honor, the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award. But now Wilder has gone on to Take 2: making typewriters art. The first in his series is an homage to Sylvester Stallone—a camouflage-painted twenties Underwood adorned with bullets, flags, and toy soldiers. While he ponders his next subject (Jacques Cousteau), Wilder is working on his autobiography—"who I was, how I became what I am, and who the hell am I!"
