Hey, Mags -- Good for you if you look like Sigourney -- or Maura T, for that matter. I get a kick out of kickass women, myself. I sure *do* know the Copy Cat movie -- not only was it shot in part here in SF, but a friend of mine was the head of makeup on the shoot. There was a prima donna of a stand-in for one of the women murdered, who had nothing but non-stop whining and compaints to contribute. The line director, who *should* have told her *everything* about the scene, had left it to my friend, Stephan, head of makeup, to tell her: She was to be found nude and bruised at the top of Twin Peaks, which is almost always cold and windy. She whined and complained, and Stephan sent her to the line director. There was quite a scene, and Stephan knew the line director would be annoyed. The LD brough the woman back, soothing her with quiet words. When they came up to Stephan, the LD's eyes shot daggers at Stephan, who smiled sweetly. "Stephan will take good care of you," said the LD. Just as the LD walked away, leaving the grumbling prima donna with Stephan, a grip showed up in a pickup truck -- with his two Siberian Huskies in tow. He explained to the LD that the dog's caretaker was sick, and was it all right if the dogs just hung around for the day -- they were well behaved? The LD said, Fine, just keep them out of the way." Stephan heard this as he was applying the bruise makeup to the prima donna, but *she* was too busy grumbling about how terribly she was being treated. When she finally saw the dogs playing, she saied to Stephan, "What are those dogs doing here?" Stephan had had enough. He said, "Oh, don't worry, they're extremely well trained." "Oh," said the young woman. "They're in the movie?" "Oh, didn't the line director tell you? They're in the scene with you." "With me? But aren't I supposed to be dead?" "Well, yes -- on command, they'll come over to you, sniff 'the body', and then one of them will lift its leg and..." When prima Donna screamed and staked off in search of the LD, Stephan made off for the coffee truck, got a quick coffee, and hid behind the truck. By the time the LD found Stephan, he'd cooled off quite a bit. "Okay, Stephan I deserved that. But are you finished with the bruise stuff?" "Not quite, but I think one of my assistants can finish it. " Don't you love behind-the-scenes stories? Fondly, Walt
