Summary
The first time Joe dies, he’s dead before he hits the ground.
He’s gone before he can feel Norma’s hands clawing at his lifeless body, before the blood (his) and saliva (hers) drips from her open mouth. He feels none of it. He feels nothing at all.
Joe, for what may be the first time, is lucky. Fittingly, it’s also the last thing he ever is.
Joe Gillis is very good at dying.

Once, they called it a sanitarium. Now it’s the “Vista Del Mar Wellness Pavilion,” where Norma Desmond lives in a private room lined with stills and clippings and old fan mail addressed to Sunset Boulevard.

Bookmarker's Notes
She watches the gleam of her cheek in a spoon. Angles her face toward the reflection in the window glass after dark. Presses her forehead to the silver handle of the supply cart and studies what looks back.
“It’s just a conversation, Miss Desmond,” he says with a smile. “About your life. About the legacy.”
“Legacy,” she repeats.
“Something we leave behind.”
“I never left.”
Some days, Norma believes she’s here for research. A role, perhaps, in a project not yet greenlit. A chance to revisit herself. The doctors call this “anchoring.” Norma calls it a rehearsal.
nce, Norma requested The Passion of Joan of Arc. The nurse didn’t recognize the title. Another said, “We don’t carry foreign films.” They played Singin’ in the Rain instead.
She didn’t attend after that. Not for a while
Not out of vanity. Not even out of habit. She just doesn’t know how to stop.

god they're fucking crazy the push and pull of emotions and praise and degradation and control and love confessions that are in character because they're still insane about it

Summary
He climbs the staircase two at a time, prattling about his day and the most recent celebrity he’s treating after a botched rhinoplasty, and he flings open the master bedroom door — partly out of habit, mostly because he was wondering what they’ve decided to fill their day with — and the words die on his tongue when he locks eyes with Madeline.
Madeline, clad in a silky pink robe with fuzzy trim, all bright eyed kiss-swollen lips and smiling up at him like she doesn’t have Helen fucking Sharp over her lap, ass bare. Helen looks like a vision like this — blouse pulled up, elegant skirt unzipped, squirming against Madeline — and Ernest feels like he’s walked in on something he shouldn’t have.
“Oh. I didn’t realize you were… occupied.”
