• Her name is X, but I couldn’t find much
biographical information about her except
that she was an American woman who
married an Indian living in Mumbai at this
time. In any case, she looks stunning on
screen during this song and captures the spirit
and style of the sophisticated ’60s.

Sometimes referred to as Seattle Sound, X is a subgenre of alternative rock
and a subculture that emerged during the mid-1980s in the Pacific
Northwest U.S. state of Washington, particularly in Seattle‘s independent
record label Sub Pop and that region’s underground music scene. By the
early 1990s its popularity had spread, with X acts appearing in California,
then surfacing towards other parts of the United States and in Australia,
building strong followings and signing major record deals.
X became commercially successful due to releases such as :
Pearl Jam's Ten, Soundgarden’s Superunknown, Alice in Chains' Dirt and also
Stone Temple Pilots' Core.
The success of bands boosted popularity and of X became the most popular
form of rock music at the time. Although most X bands had disbanded by
late 1990s, they influenced modern rock music, as their lyrics brought
socially conscious issues into pop culture and added introspection and an
exploration of what it means to be true to oneself. X was an influence on
subsequent genres e.g. post-X (a derivative of X) and nu metal.

• She was sure that she had blown her Paramount screen test. It was August of 1941
and the film was “I Wanted Wings.” She auditioned to portray a nightclub singer:
• “We did a scene in which I was supposed to be tipsy at a table in a small nightclub.
Things were going nicely until I leaned my elbows on the edge of the table….My right
elbow slipped off the table edge causing something. I spent the next few minutes
trying to continue with the scene as I kept shaking my head to get ___”
• She knew she had lost the chance to play the part and left the studio sobbing. But
then came the phone call from the picture’s director. He wanted her for the part. Her
acting may not have been perfect, but she had a magnetism on film and, the biggest
surprise of all, her __ had been a smash! He liked the eye-hiding gimmick of it. The
picture was going to be a hit, he said, and that would make her a star. A star, however
needed both a gimmick and a good name. He hated the name she had and so he
rechristened her to“XY,” borrowing the “X” bit from his secretary and adding the last
name “Y” because “her eyes are calm and blue like a waterbody.”
• “I Wanted Wings” was indeed a runaway success. It was the biggest picture of 1941
and XY’s breakthrough hit. XY(1922-1973) , all 4’11” and 90 lbs of her, became a big
star overnight. However, some freaking accidents of her lady fans caused her change
her hit style. Who is XY? What style?

The term # movie (or grade-# movie) arose in the mid -
1960s as an informal description of certain unequivocally
non-A films. It was soon adopted to characterize low-
budget pictures with quality standards well below those
of most B movies and even so-called C movies. While B
movies may have mediocre scripts and actors who are
relatively unknown or past their prime, they are for most
part competently lit, shot, and edited.
Director Ed Wood is often described as the quintessential
maker of # movies. Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) is
often labeled the worst film ever made.
