Thursday's Blind Item - Kindness

This up and coming female writer and director recently had her hands full on her most recent film. However, dealing with the strange demands of her exercise loving actress star did not stop our director from being kind.

While filming at a hotel in Texas, one of the executives of the hotel asked the director if it would be ok if his 13 year old daughter could come watch. The director not only said yes, but also put the girl into the movie as an extra and at the end of the day thanked the girl for all her hard work, gave her a prop from the movie and even autographed it for her.

It's so nice to hear good news for a change, especially today. Thank you, Enty!

FluffyElmo said...

Agree. Definitely Country Strong/Gwyneth.

Patty said...

Didn't that film in Tennesse?

Jessi said...

Patty is right, Country Strong filmed in Nashville. With that said I have no clue as to who this could be.

Reese said...

Love it. The kid is probably still walking on air from the experience.

FluffyElmo said...

Country Strong has scenes set in Texas, the opening drunk driving incident and a three city tour. Not sure if they filmed on location or not.

Either way I can't think of anything else that fits.

I was thinking of drew barrymore for whip it, it was her first time writing and directing?

Diablo Cody; Jennifer's Body; exercise lover Megan Fox?

Love the kindness blinds. Thanks Enty.

May be a great kindness but it was a truly terrible movie. Nearly unwatchable.

RocketQueen said...

Exercise loving means Gwyneth and parts were filmed in Texas. This is definitely Shana Fest.

Shana Fest.

The film could've used some tweaks but the performances were spectacular, and I cannot stand GP. Dislike her intensely. But really? She was radiant in this film. Ugh, pains me to say.

According to IMDB, the whole movie was shot in Tennessee, just different parts of the state to represent Texas. But the blind certainly fits the movie, huh?

Gypsy said...

Seriously.

not Drew, Whip It was filmed in MI

But Drew did a lot of charity up here in MI while whip it was filming. They had a charity skate-a-thon where you could come and meet her.
