I read this book over 40 years ago, but I only just realized that Montana Wildhack, the porn star with whom Billy Pilgrim shares a cage in the zoo on Tralfamadore, is played in the movie version by Valerie Perrine, who was also Lex Luthor's girlfriend in Superman and saved the world by removing Christopher Reeve's Kryptonite necklace so he didn't drown in the swimming pool.

Busy, busy, busy.

With wings of lead and feet of tin
