I recently found Michael's book in my Aunt's house (she never throws anything away). I'm very curious as to what ever happened to him. It showed some pictures of Warren Beatty and him in some movie I never saw so I assume he pursued a film career after marrying Patrice (wonder what happened to her). Great trippin' book back to a mod mod world although I'm sure old Charlie was mortified, horrified and in much need of a smoke after reading!
