...larger than life, that he never became a performer (like his comrades Burroughs and Mailer); his shy demeanor was doubtless the deciding factor. He can be seen in only four films: "The Man Who Fell to Earth" (1976) (as a journalist, in the restored version), the documentaries "The Queen" (1968) (where he judges a drag contest) and "Burroughs" (1983), and the infamous Rolling Stones film-portrait "Cocksucker Blues" (1972). The last-mentioned has never been officially available (the Stones hate it - but tend to excerpt it in their authorized video compilations), but it offers the longest glimpse of Southern onscreen...

After pouring himself another drink, he began arguing with his parents, shouting at his mother, Queen Aiswarya, who didn't approve of the Crown Prince's romance with longtime paramour Devyani Rana, 23, the daughter of a former Foreign Minister of Nepal. The Crown Prince was furious that his family wanted him to marry Priyanka Shaha, a princess of royal blood. His sister Shruti scolded...
When palace aides dashed into the room, they found that the King's head had been blown nearly in half, and the Queen's body was unrecognizable save for the sari she had been wearing. Eight of the victims, including the King, were declared dead on arrival at the Royal Nepal Army Hospital. Five of the six wounded were listed in critical condition. But Shruti had been prophetic when she had admonished Dipendra. The next morning, in a coma and sustained by life-support systems and respirators, the Prince who killed the King was enthroned as King. The Privy Council...
