MAGIE DOMINIC
BACK TO PAGE 38
Activist, poet, and memoirist MAGIE DOMINIC  inspired the character "Rona" in my play, Kennedy's Children. When people scoff, "No one could have done all that Rona does," I reply, "Oh, I left out her career in underground theatre." Here she is reading on a sixties Sunday on NYC's Gansevort Pier,most probably an anti-war poem. See author/artist MAGIE's WEBPAGE.
Magie created a number of roles at the Caffe Cino, but may be best remembered for the title role in CHARLES STANLEY's comic-book production of Snow White. Here she is between KENNY BURGESS ("The Little Forest Animals") and BOB LAWLOR ("Prince Charming'), photo by CONRAD WARD. She also played "Marguerite" in Faust, and "Veronica" in Archie and His Friends.
Magie's love of JOE and the Cino made her a dedicated Cino "temple slave." Left, she's making stars for the Dames at Sea set with JOE CINO himself. Center, she's  running sound for TOM EYEN's Why Hanna's Skirt Won't Stay Down. She was in demand as an actress. Right, in Saul-Paul Sirag's The Wrong Number of Teeth at La Mama. (photos, JAMES D.

Multiple Magies: in 1966, a dancing symbol in Jean Reavey's Window at La Mama, director TOM O'HORGAN (another image third row HERE); in 1985, co-curator of the Caffe Cino Exhibit at Lincoln Center, seen here with BOB DAHDAH and Paul Cranefield (Exhibit pix HERE); in 1999, bound in red tape as the Village Voice's crusading cover-person (read Magie's trenchant letters  HERE and HERE); in 2007, on TV HERE as conservator of Cinobilia at Lincoln Center Library's Billy Rose Collection, with poster for TOM EYEN's Frustrata, 1965.
