Tomorrow morning I’m getting up at 5 AM and heading into the city. Sometime yesterday, Toby wrote me to see if I wanted to be an extra in a movie. His boss’s wife is a producer and he was trying to find young, 30-something people to fill a few spots. Toby told him yes. And then I forgot about it.
Last night, as I was walking to meet Toby Joe for dinner, my cell phone rang. I answered it. Which is unheard of, my answering a call from some number I don’t recognize. It was the producer for Gweneth Paltrow’s new film. She asked me if I wanted to be an extra in her movie. All I have to do is wear something fancy and consume a gourmet breakfast. And I have to be there by 6 AM.
I’m already nervous and all I have to do is stand there. Hopefully, I can take a few pictures.
My retirement plans just took on a whole new outlook. I can see it now – Movie star buys family a house on the water!
OK, so which one is it…
Have You Heard
Love and Other Disasters
or
Running with Scissors
Apparently she is filming 3 movies at the moment. Busy lady. Will you be her new best friend? Do tell!
I forget the name. I don’t think she’s in this movie. She’s directing it. (So I have heard. I will know more at 10 AM tomorrow. And you know damn well I will write all about it.) :]
were they able to accomodate your request for a south beach “gourmet” breakfast?
I will cut you.
Gerry – we need to get her sauced up tonight so she misses the wake-up call and spends the rest of her life lamenting the “big break” that got away.
I was thinking the same thing- let’s get her tanked tonight and if she does happen to make it tomorrow, she’ll be keeping it real as a true 30-something new yorker on a typical Friday morning.
I will cut you both.
Just don’t forget us little people when you get all famous and shit…. ! :o)
I’m so jealous!!!! I’m awaiting a very descriptive synopsis of the day, hopefully with celebrity sightings as well!
