January 10, 1995 An article about the death of Peter Cook. The author recalls meeting Peter Cook. "My only personal experience with Cook was memorable. In late 1982, on location in Ixtapa, Mexico, where Yellowbeard was being filmed, I spent most of a night laughing hysterically. That's because Cook, Marty Feldman and Harry Nilsson entertained me - and themselves - in Nilsson's hotel suite with hours of impromptu comedy bits, all nasty, all rude, all brilliant, all funny.
"Nilsson kept throwing a copy of a silly book about California Valley Girls into the overhead fan, where the whirling blades would shred a few more pages. When they fluttered to the floor, Cook would grab a page and start a riff that Feldman and Nilsson would pick up on in between swigs of wine, beer, juice and other assorted liquids."
