I did it!
I watched the filming of a scene from one of my favorite new shows: "Drop Dead Diva"!
Call me a geeky-star-stuck-stalkerazzi, but I loved every minute of it!
So interesting to see how everything was set up, all the crew, the extras, the equipment, the continuous take after take after take. Didn't envy them that! It was funny to me to see the same empty Marta bus go back and forth on that same part of the block. The extras being "released" to walk back and forth on the sidewalk next to the restaurant at just the right moment. I mean, really? Who even notices them?!?!? I don't! LOL
The crew and the police were very tolerant of all the gawkers like me. And all the gawkers were very polite and cooperative....probably like me: didn't want to be asked to leave. :)
At one point I was fairly close to the star of the show. She and the actress who plays her best friend were standing...waiting for instructions. I guess she felt me staring at her (poor girl!) and she looked over and made eye contact with me and smiled. Of course I got all giddy and said (loudly) "We love you!...We think you're great!" NO, I wasn't using the "royal" we....I meant me and my two daughters....who weren't there with me physically, but were in spirit! ;-) She smiled again and said "thank you so much". I know, right? It takes so little to make me happy. Anyway, I would have LOVED to have asked to take a picture with her, but there was never an opportunity while I was there (around 45 minutes to an hour).
Here are some pictures.
The first two I found online. The only mention of who took them was "Steve took these with his iphone". No link or anything...so thanks, Steve. Very cool iphone pictures! Love that dreamy quality to them. :)
another Steve picture.You can see the "real" name of the restaurant on the side of
the building "Parker's on Ponce.
Aren't they cute!LOVE Brook Elliot who plays the main character, Jane.
(That's my favorite Starbucks! EEEEEEE!!! LOL)
This picture and the rest were taken by me with my
Blackberry. I had my camera with me, but
I wasn't sure if regular cameras would be allowed
so I didn't get it out of my bag.




I'm thinking pink velour makes anyones butt look big(ish)
So that's it, cats and kittens.
For now anyway.
I found out yesterday that a scene from a movie starring Kathleen Turner and Britney Murphey (weird combo) will be filming at Raging Burrito on the square August 23rd and 24th.
You know I'll be there!



ummmmmm
ReplyDeletethose pants...... make her butt look SPANKKKKK
I mean,ok. hehe
I've never heard of that show but I guess I'll have to watch out for it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSage: You're a guy. That's how guys think. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhitenoise: It's a pretty girly show. Your wife has probably heard of it. :)
Fuck me running. I am such a famous people whore. I hold it together really well when they're around but break bad when they're gone. I ran into Dennis Miller and Adam Sandler years ago in the NBC building. Adam was VERY nice. Said hi before I did. Dennis? Yeah. Not so much. I stood back and didn't bother 'em. Someone said hi to Dennis and he cursed at the person. Rudeeeeeeeeeeee! *crossed* him off my list of things to like ta that very moment.
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the pics, Pissy! Holy hell!
I just might have to come down there one day!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had such a fabu afternoon. It is a lot of work for the stuff you don't even look at...I used to be in video production. I feel their pain! But...people like you make all that work worth it.
ReplyDeletewhen i worked at Paramount Studio I was amazed at all the things that you take for granted and don't even notice that take for ever to arrange or to set up. you saw real sets ..you should see the sets that are made..every thing is 3/4 size...and everything is made to break apart and is made with 1/4 inch plywood...pretty cool to see the 'stars' and get to tell them how much you like their work..
ReplyDeletei saw robin williams and was so tongue tied couldn't say a word...
How much fun is that!
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree about the pink pants!
Love your afternoon! Love that you got to see/meet/etc. the stars of our new fave! Great pics - Raging Burrito, huh? Cute name!
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in LA, they filmed a scene for the TV show Beauty & the Beast at the front door of my building. It is so cool to just stand back and watch how it all comes together.
ReplyDeleteI am one of those people who notices the extras and the stuff going on in the background! LOL
So envious of your afternoon of (sorta) rubbing elbows with the celebs - thanks for sharing!
How very very cool!!
