LISTEN/DL: Cristina – He Dines Out On Death (1984)

“Cristina is the kind of girl who does what she likes. For one thing, she’s rich. She lives in France with her father (he’s a psychiatrist there) or in London or New York. She’s studied at Harvard, where she won the History and Literature Prize in her sophomore year. She’s acted in plays and reviewed them for the Village Voice. So you can see she’s smart. She likes reading and pear-shaped diamonds, MDA and valium, Balzac and I Love Lucy. Since she is also very beautiful, she gets what she wants.” – excerpted from a 1980 press release
