LETTERS - Guys and dolls
RYAN GOSLING’S feelings for Bianca, a lifelike/life-sized silicone doll in “Lars and the Real Girl” brings to my mind a play, “KRZY” by Bruce Reisman, that we did at the Second Stage in Hollywood in the late ’80s. My character, Arthur, was in love with a life-sized doll named Mary Ann. I experienced the same sort of bond with her as Gosling did with Bianca. I wonder if “Real Girl’s” writer, Nancy Oliver, saw our play or has/had some sort of symbiotic relationship with Reisman?
My character took Mary Ann everywhere, including group and individual therapy sessions. And, like Gosling, I took Mary Ann home with me every night.
