CHE, Another lost memory refound as a result of reading your stuff here.
I was always a Kim Novak fan and I finally had the chance to meet her during a major motion picture shoot in San Francisco.
The scene was shot (a close-up) on Kim's face and the director said, "CUT!" and I noticed that Kim looked awfully sad so I went up to her and asked if she was OK and she looked up and smiled and said, "Thanks".
But the itneresting part is that when she said, "Thanks!" ..... her makeup started cracking like a jig-saw puzzle.
So what you in those studio shots and on the movie screen ..... isn't what you really get in real lifel.
But I gotta admit that the "basics" gotta be there for the make-up folks and camera-men and the lighting guys to improve upon.
It takes a lot of Hollywood people many hours to make a Hollywood star appear 'beautiful-er" than they actually are.
Sorry! Pretty dumb again!
