It's takern me a while to respond to this whole movie thing. Someone
summed it all up when they said they hate to see it but can't wait to
go. That is what I think Salinger would think of it if it ever happened
which I think it never will. I just think of Holden's line that the
movie was so awful he couldn't take his eyes off of it. (I'm ruining the
quote)

Also, I rememeber reading that Salinger was in a few plays when he was
in college at Ursinus I think I read. I think it was in Ian Hamilton's
book. Just for fantasy's sake I would have like to seen him do the part.
He would have been lanky and young enough at that time to pull it off.

This offers another question: If this Salinger had aspirations of
becoming an actor (which is probably the most visible and outgoing of
occupations) what would make him turn into such a recluse. Did he lose
faith in the commercial world? Any ideas?

Just daydreaming.
