| July 2, 1992 World Famous BumWe drove back to Spokane
(2200 miles one-way), taking a detour through Chicago, to see what it was
like. My mother, tired of hearing stories of Miimii and I living off grass and wood shavings, gave us $250 and ordered us to buy a microwave oven. So I did a photo shoot with it and sent the pictures back to her...poor lady...this is what she gets after having me kick the snot out of her for nine months... About this time we got word of two movies being shot in Spokane. The first was Benny and Joon staring Johnny Depp, Aidan Quinn and Mary
Stewart Matheson. The second was Toys, with Robin Williams and Robin
Wright.
Miimii got called to do Toys but when she showed up to shoot, the
weather was too nice for the scene, so they sent her home with $30 and lunch (we already had Lunch...grrr). A few weeks later they called me
for Benny and Joon I went to a warehouse in Spokane.
They had a house and a hospital built inside. It was really cool. I was
dressed up as a hospital (male)nurse and they had me walk behind a glass door.
I did this about ten times. Later it appeared in the film, toward the end. This photo did not turn out as clear as the movie but I'm the image in the background between Aidan and Johnny... |
