Herman, who says he’s been granted power of attorney over the singer, had worked with Birdsong’s family members to extricate her from a previous living arrangement.
“Eddie puts his hand behind her head, very delicately, sweetly, saying, ‘Cindy, I’m really happy to see you,’ then he just sat there real close and sang in her ear: ‘Baby Love,’ ‘Love Child,’ ‘Someday We’ll Be Together,’ ” Herman recalls, eyes tearing, rolling up a shirtsleeve to show a forearm prickling in memory: goose bumps. “Everyone who has a public face has drama.

Among the Hollywood locations you can expect to see in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is the Cinerama Dome. Photos posted to social media featured period-specific posters, cars, and outfits from the 1960s, with the theater advertising Bernard L. Kowalski’s disaster movie “Krakatoa, East of Java,” which was released May 14, 1969.
According to a Cinerama employee who witnessed the shoot but requested anonymity, it was not a full-fledged production but more of a second-unit effort: “They just wanted to get the sun going down and the lights coming on.”
Twitter user J.S. Lewis posted a thread in which he explained he stumbled onto the set of Tarantino’s movie after his screening of “2001: A Space Odyssey” in the ome was moved to a different theater. Other Twitter users expressed frustration over the fact “2001” was bumped from the Dome so that an untitled Sony movie could use the space for production.
