![]() Walter grilled Parfrey about his sex life and offered suggestions on how to improve it. He was bitter and vindictive when he spoke of Margaret, calling her a liar and claiming she had had sex with a car hop on their wedding day, Parfrey says. He kept comparing himself to Michelangelo. “He had just published his ridiculous autobiography,” Parfrey recalls of Walter, who died in obscurity at age 85 in Encinitas in 2000. ![]() Parfrey’s account is based on a story he wrote for the San Diego Reader in the early 1990s, when he met and interviewed Walter, who was languishing in an unkempt La Jolla bungalow, still claiming he was the artist behind the big eyes. In sharp contrast, “Citizen Keane,” which Parfrey co-wrote with Cletus Nelson, contains a much darker version of events. Like many Hollywood creations, Burton’s version of Keane’s unhappiest days - the film stars Christoph Waltz as Walter and Amy Adams as Margaret - has likely been sanitized for mass consumption, says Feral House publisher Adam Parfrey. “I felt very guilty that I allowed it to happen, and, of course, it destroyed Walter, and I could have stopped that if I had been stronger.” ![]() “I don’t want to have anything to do with lying ever again,” she says, adding that the truth finally redeemed her. The Bible, she says, has a thing against lying. She said it gave her the strength to expose the lie she had been cornered into telling for more than a decade.Ī fervent Jehovah’s Witness, Keane wears a JW.org button on her coat lapel and speaks with passion about the scriptures. In the nearly 50 years since Margaret filed for divorce from Walter, leaving their home in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco for Hawaii, she experienced a religious conversion. “Now, I try to paint happy children and animals playing together in paradise scenes, like here in L.A., looking out the window,” she says, shaking off the darkness, her voice becoming musical and sweet.
