Aloha all. Here with some brew for ya...
There, hope you like it. More on this later. Thanks for the emails and the questions. Stay cybertuned and I'm gonna go into detail what it was like to work with Robert Mitchum and Sharon Stone in Hawaii. Cool stories to follow.. until then, thank you very next.... What a sweet memory, 1987, with great happiness, expectation, finally getting a nod, and also present was great sadness, just having lost my father earlier that year to cancer.A good friend, who doesn't communicate with me any more, came to work from lunch and said they were looking for navy people interested in helping a project. Of course, the Navy stands for "Never Again Volunteer Yourself", so I was quiet and said nothing.. More to follow, I like teasing cause I know ya like it..anyway, think about it..how I found out about "War and Remembrance" and how it would help me keep a little piece of me here forever, through the arts......Until next time....Thank you very next!!... (entry 07 Oct 08)..OK, here ya go. I met Robert Mitchum on the ship USS Northhampton and filmed the battle scene during which we were sank. Actor CW Bailey, Sharon Stone was there, not on scene but on the shore, in a trailer, then was seen many times under this huge tent, set up for the people in the film on the ship. The tent is where we took our breaks during filming. You can see this scene in Part V, in which the North Hampton was sunk, in an area that the marines called "Iron bottom sound". More to follow..thank you very next.
