The principal cast was a blast to work with. Wall to wall pros at the top of their games.
Something extra delightful for me was the chance to work with Cloris Leachman. Beyond her knowledge of what works, what is funny, knowing how her footage will likely be cut together, this is a woman who could give a trucker a run for his money in salty language when she deemed it appropriate. She was a lesson in being true to yourself and not letting mere age define how you present your true self.
Above and beyond the wonderful principal cast, we had the fun of working with the folks at the Friar's Club. I was star struck at some of the historic names in entertainment attached to their furniture and pictured on their walls. They win for having one of the best clubhouses in NYC. I'm repeating some photos I'd previously posted, but the Friar's Club is so great looking, they bear repeating!
