"Get the costume."<br /><br />I think wholly sane, decent people rarely wind up directing movies.Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-1597258484554714452011-05-05T15:22:47.499-04:002011-05-05T15:22:47.499-04:00I know it's a legend, but is the dog story con...I know it's a legend, but is the dog story considered to be true? From the first time I heard that story, my feelings about Hollywood and child actors were never the same.Jeanie Callaghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03310216520195634207noreply@blogger.com
