WTF. Why is there just a few clips? Where is the film/doc. It seems so strange that someone would just be sitting on this. Does anyone know who filmed this?

Hollywood should stop with the revival tv shows of the 70's & find more of stories like these fabulously fierce dames

I agree disturbing but I can't stop watching the clips over and over.

God on a wheel! Why isn't there more Royce?!!! a film! Gawd!!! I'm tired of New Jersey house wives and shit reality T.V. Where are the producers with integrity. Why is T.V such shit and Royce which is like a shimmering like a wallflower. Goes for the most part unknown. Fuck!

Word is there's a movie script running around ........ I would actually love to see the real thing as in a documentary. It's sort of weird that nothing has become of this... but perhaps that's a good thing. Who knows....

I loved reading this article about Royce, whom I met in the washroom of the Beverly Wilshire (as did Marilyn). It was 1992 and she was wearing a large hat but not singing. I took a photo of her which I sent to her and I understand it is now on her Facebook page, after 18 years! I was visiting from Sydney, and have only just heard about her again thanks to Bill Geerhart who is documenting her life.

I too saw Royce sitting in a wheel chair on 6th and olive. She had a small stuffed cat in her hand. I approached her and she dismissed me. " Declasse " she said.

I saw Royce yesterday going down Broadway in a wheel chair being pushed by a young latina woman. I wanted to stop and say hello but lost my nerve. It definately was here because I walked close by and could hear her voice. Dahling...Oh...Hell.....And she was wearing a hat. Not a large hat but a hat from the Mod Squad era.

I have to thank Lady Bunny for posting on her blog. I could watch these vids all day, are they still being fabulous? Reminds me of Big and Little Edie.

Agreed - they did not shoot the videos themselves. In one, you can clearly hear a man behind the camera ask Royce to sing. She looks at him and drops this gem: "Without an orchestra, how in the devil can one sing?"
See also: twitter.com/RoyceReed for your daily dose of Royce-isms.

They didn't shoot this themselves. But, it is amazing in this time and age who ever did this doesn't come forward. Amazing

I heard that they shot the video themselves. Someone showed them how to use the camera and that's that.

Note this article was written in 1999 -- 10 years before the videos popped up on youtube and laweekly.com added a comments section.
If anyone knows the answers, please post them here...
Were the videos taken by the writer of this article? (At one point, we hear a man off-camera asking Royce to sing.) If not, who took them and when? And why does one video feature a giant rabbit on Royce's bed?
Viewing the videos, it becomes almost obvious to conclude that Royce's elegant lifestyle was at least in part brought down by alcoholism.
Of course, the ultimate question: Where Are They Now?
-
Jim M 03/25/2009 11:14:00 PM
This article fails to shed any light on who these women are and where they came from. The writer kind of throws up his hands at all the different tales Royce offers. Couldn't he have performed some investigative journalism? Or was he more interested in moving on to the next story?
-
peggy R 03/25/2009 3:35:00 AM
The great thing about the youtube clips is that they reveal a truth with out a filter of a commentary writer. I'm all for videos, it cuts through the trying to be and or do something for a result. There is too much commentary in the world
-

An interesting article, carefully designed to appeal to the voyeur in us all which has been carefully nourished by reality TV.
A delusional fantasist and someone who has lived their lives in the shadows of fame.
It's a sad story.

I viewed a video of these woman on Face Book and I was immediatley captivated, I had to watch it again and again. I tracked down the original poster and he sent me a link to this article. I'm so glad it was here to fill in the blanks left by the short yet intrigueing clip. I'm not sure why or if it's even possible but I want more!!!
