THE SAGA OF SUZANNE

A Starlet Becomes a Star

By Izzy Ess of Abusiveness

The dazzling starlet was aglow as she was centre stage for her Academy Award, a shiny Oscar cradled in her arms, just like a baby.  She tried to smile but was too nervous to be comfortable giving her acceptance speech.  She had a speech prepared that was composed by her good friend and lover, Michael Martin.  Suzanne Sarajevo was only seventeen and here she was receiving an award for acting in a poignant movie all about a family that is distraught by father’s habits, drinking and carousing.  The story line makes her abused by her own father who had raped her when she was just four and carried on with her until she was a teenager of thirteen, when she finally said, “No!”  Her younger brother took the lover role and fondled her relentlessly until she did surrender and had some intercourse with him.  She admitted she enjoyed it, inasmuch as she was in control and acted as instructor for her brother, James, who fell in love with her and followed her around like her own puppy dog.  He became of age before she did and was quite tall and handsome and he had some sexual equipment which she did admire.  Fate was intervening when her brother died of injuries sustained in crashing his first car into a bridge abutment.  She took her mother’s place and slept for two years with her father who attended AA, at her request, and was attentive to his daughter’s inner needs for male companionship.  Her mother was so passive, she was quite relieved to give up her own husband for the happiness of her own daughter and for peace that fell upon their house, ironically.   In the movie, when the daughter felt so guilty, she abused herself by cutting her own wrists, repeatedly.  Finally, she felt so lonely and depressed, so guilty and abused, that she committed suicide by jumping off a high rise in the city.  In reality, Suzanne Stiletto, who was renamed by her manager, to Sarajevo, had been fondled since she was a little girl by her own father and his two brothers from the age of five to more than age fifteen.  The fondling changed to intercourse when she was ten and starting to develop breasts and hips.  She was happy then because her father and her uncles said they loved her very much.  So, she loved them and was so happy to be pleasing them with sex. 

The mother of Suzanne was Isobel, who her husband and his brothers dubbed as Tinkerbelle.  Tinkerbelle participated in the sexual activities of her daughter.  In fact, she taught her daughter all the ins and outs of sex, proclaiming that this would be good practice for her when she got much older and was looking for a husband.  In the very least, Suzanne and Tinkerbelle were quite enthusiastic lovers of the men in her own family.  By the time she was sixteen, she and her mother had been entertained by her three brothers as well as three first cousins and a slew of classmates, male and female that were visitors to the house on Blinker Avenue.  The neighbours were alarmed, especially all the women, inasmuch as their own husbands, brothers-in-law and sons and daughters would frequent the Blinker House of ill repute.  Tinkerbelle put out a glass jar at the doorway and the contributions were substantial.  This paid for all tuitions, books and dormitories for Suzanne and her three brothers at the University of Miami, Florida.  Suzanne and her brothers were quite smart and started earning bursaries and scholarships which helped a lot.  Suzanne started Drama classes and she soon starred in pornographic movies with lucrative returns for her.  Her brothers chose to go to Medical Schools, which were expensive.  Suzanne helped her parents with tuition, books, supplies and rent at three different Medical Schools in Miami.  Each of the brothers scored high in tests and graduated with top honours at their respective Schools of Medicine.

Suzanne was spotted by a Hollywood producer and was put on salary at Paramount.  The movie that she starred in was a breeze for her with her extensive early life’s experience with men and women in the acts of love and lust.  She had made the honour role at her University in Miami and was Valedictorian for her graduating class.  Her second movie was a bust but she received some minor kudos from the Academy of Arts and Drama in Los Angeles, California.  Her third movie was a blockbuster and she received an Oscar for her role as ingénue, in a supporting role.  In her next assignment she was given a co-starring role with a handsome, muscular young man.  Her nude scene in a sado-masochistic role was deemed outstanding.  She was nominated for an Oscar but lost out to a competing ingénue.  On her movie set, she met and bedded the director, Basil Basinger.  Variety described them as a June-September romantic couple.  All who met them were impressed by loving vibes that came from them.  In his next movie, Basinger insisted that Suzanne be the star.  However, it was a terrible performance and the relationship was dissolved.  Suzanne moved on to Jimmy James, a handsome young man who was starring with her in the lousy movie.  Jimmy and Suzanne struggled against adverse publicity about the looseness of their life styles.  They had been photographed extensively, in many sexy parties in the wealthy homes of Hollywood.

Suzanne and Jimmy had accumulated lots of money and were able to buy a modest mansion, in Hollywood, where they settled down and raised a family.  Suzanne bore Jimmy two bright sons.  Their public image much improved and the publicity did land them several roles in Movies that were highly lucrative but not the blockbusters that the producers wanted.  Their starring roles were then reduced to supporting roles, whose income was still substantial.  They invested wisely without squandering their capital and knew that if there were no more roles to play, they would be set for life, so long as spending was reduced.  They cut out all the lavish parties and husbanded their funds so wisely, they were able to buy a nice house in Petaluma, a city just north of Los Angeles, where schools were good and the life-style was not as pressured as it was in Hollywood.  There was even a modicum of anonymity and that was what they liked.  Jimmy and his wife, Suzanne were both approaching forty and were quite satisfied that everything was going smoothly and that everything they wanted was available.  Their children were doing well in school and they had several neighbour friends who were truly friends and enjoyed afternoons together in their respective backyards, barbequing and drinking California fine wines.

One of the neighbour couples was particularly friendly.  They also had three children and exchanged their family stories.  Soon they started having intimate evenings, even weekends, where they ate and drank and danced and sometimes they got naked and all ended up in bed.  It was extremely comfortable for Suzanne and Jimmy, Frank and Isobel.  The more time that they spent in bed, the more they liked it.  They started going on vacations together and felt even more compatible with sex as a foursome.  There was no favouritism, whatsoever.  It seemed to be a case of equal partners in a four-way relationship.  This continued for about a year before Frank’s wife, Isobel, developed breast cancer and needed both breasts removed.  The other three partners reassured her that it would make no difference.  However, something was amiss.  After surgery, Isobel refused to participate, at all, and proclaimed, “You guys can carry on.  Just leave me out of it.  I just don’t feel like sex at all and I would not be any fun.”  The other three assumed it was just her body image that she was unsure of and tried repeatedly to draw her back inside the loop of frequent foursomes.  Isobel made no change in her first attitude: “Please go on without me.  I just don’t feel I can contribute any joy to our old foursome.  Please go on.  I’m sure Frank would like it if you just went on without me.  All three of you are very kind.  It’s me!  I have a strange feeling about my body now and I feel I’ll just be a party pooper.”  Frank, Suzanne and Jimmy tried it once or twice without Isobel but it didn’t feel right without her.  Isobel became increasingly depressed and needed psychiatric consultation.  She was given anti-depressants which were only half effective.  She committed suicide with a massive overdose of antidepressants and that was it.  Frank became extremely reluctant to be with his old friends and stopped coming over.  He thought it best to sell his house and locate elsewhere with his children and a new girlfriend who wasn’t interested in any foursomes.  Frank and his new family grouping moved to Phoenix to insure that no further sex was possible with Suzanne and Jimmy.

Producers of the Broadway Theatre of Hollywood, in New York City, had purchased a play by Alexander Tomas Surawicz, about the women of the American and International films who had intensely sexual backgrounds, like Suzanne’s.  It called for 100% nudity and actual sexual intercourse on stage.  A script was sent to Suzanne for her perusal and an offer for an audition as a 65 year old, who has an involutional depression after menopause.  Actually, Suzanne never was depressed, significantly, though she had some mornings when she really felt her energy was low and her mood was somewhat down.  With self talk and a trick she learned a while ago, she’d get to a full length mirror in her bathroom, strip down to total nakedness, strike a sexy pose and look right at herself and say, “Wow!  You look marvelous!  Look at those breasts!  Look at that ass!  You could be the centre of the Universe, eh?”  She could depend on this trick to lift her mood and set her up for a really good day, no matter what was bugging her.  Sometimes, Jimmy overheard her and would mimic an echo, repeating what she said and the hearty laughter would be just the thing for a glumness that she would have experienced on awakening.

Suzanne saw the script and loved it.  She felt that Surawicz had recorded her own history.  The depressed part she had decided was a writers literary license and she had seen in some other older stars.  She felt she was a good actress still and could pull it off.  The offer from the producer was substantial.  She discussed it with her Jimmy who was all for it.  Her audition in New York was like a piece of cake.  The director and producer were impressed not only with her acting but also her body.  Suzanne was remarkably beautiful and had maintained her muscle tone at her age of 65.  Surawicz, the consultant to the script that had been modified by a younger man to bring thinks into the modern era.  Surawicz was, after all, a portly 66 year old and his details were from the 70’s.  Surawicz made no bones about it.  He said immediately that he had loved Suzanne for many years and had seen her every film, including the very early pornographic works.  When he saw her, he was hopelessly in love with her.  He visited her in her new dressing room and pleaded with her to spend some time with him.  She was still a romantic, despite her sexual career.  She fell in love with this elderly writer and was happy to comply with his request.  Suzanne shamelessly undressed for him and asked for sex.  He admitted he was impotent and did the best he could with oral sex.  Suzanne was satisfied and made arrangements to meet him in his NYC condominium, that evening after the first rehearsal.

Suzanne and Alexander met frequently for nightcaps and oral sex.  Gradually, his potency returned after consultation with a specialist who changed his medications for his high blood pressure.  Jimmy’s visits to NYC did not disturb him.  He joined in and formed a threesome with Suzanne and Alexander.  They invited the young woman, Phoebe Smith, who was playing the part of a young woman who was abused by her father and her uncles.  The foursome was exciting.  Jimmy, Suzanne, Alexander and Phoebe all spent time in Alexander’s condo.  The play was a smash hit when it opened.  The reviewers were not very kind, but the audiences loved it and filled the theatre every night for six straight months.  The reviews became a little better as time went on.  This was Broadway, after all.  The play had opened up a new era for pornographic productions.  Not since Oh Calcutta and Aquarius, was there such a buzz about a play concerning sexual behaviour.  Suzanne was a star again and loved it.  Jimmy, Alexander and Phoebe took their show on tour.  It bombed in virtually every city but it remained a hit on Broadway for seven years.  Suzanne, herself, was the attraction.  She had aged so well and her acting was superb.  Audiences remembered her in this and all her movies.  The play, “Abused!” won many awards.

Suzanne and Jimmy moved back to Hollywood and were able to purchase an old mansion with their newly renewed coffers of gold.  The movie starred a younger woman while Suzanne was guaranteed the supportive role as the older abused woman who was depressed and suicidal.  It was a blockbuster and it was a huge financial success.  Alexander and Phoebe became permanent house guests and renewed their exciting foursomes.

What else is there to tell?  Suzanne, Jimmy and Alexander lived into their early 90’s before they died of natural causes.  Phoebe carried on in her career and was successful into her 50’s and 60’s before she retired to Denver, her home town.  There were four stars in sequence in front of Grumman’s Chinese Theatre which commemorates their stardom and celebrates their famous foursomes.
