Some agents were so offended by Tarantino’s language that they told Jaymes they would stop reading her submissions. One time she got a letter back from an agent that read, ‘I’m returning your f-ing submission. I hope you have a f-ing great day.”Īlthough many knew that Tarantino fired Jaymes abruptly on the brink of his greatest success with "Pulp Fiction" (a story I recount in “Rebels on the Backlot”), few knew that she contracted virulent breast cancer in the year or so after her brutal separation from the director. She chose to have a radical mastectomy but slowly bowed out of the business. I know that Cathryn believed, and it didn’t take much to convince me, that what she considered a shocking betrayal by Tarantino contributed to her illness. I chose not to mention the illness in the book, but there is no doubt that the end of this relationship fundamentally shook her trust in people and struck hard at her core, personal values.īut they were two different kinds of people, it seemed.

(Easy to forget this now, in a season where Tarantino is again being celebrated as a genius and on a day when the Directors Guild recognized him with a nomination for his striking work in “Inglourious Basterds.”) I interviewed her in the post-"Pulp" death valley where he produced nothing at all for years.
She was willing to talk, but always concerned that I make clear that she persisted in believing that he was a unique talent, a genius – but a flawed human being. Fetal Personhood: A push to grant fetuses the same legal rights as people is gaining momentum, as anti-abortion activists move beyond bans and aim to get the procedure classified as murder.In Michigan: A state board in Michigan refused to place an abortion rights referendum on the November ballot because of a dispute over word spacing on the petition, which included more than 750,000 signatures.Sounding the Alarm: A United Nations panel reviewing racial issues in the United States called on the Biden administration to take action to protect abortion access for minorities and low-income people, adding that these groups could be disproportionately hit by the end of Roe.And she forgave him – because she was that kind of person. “All mothers who abort their children are culpable at some level, though not necessarily equally culpable for homicide,” he said.
