Imagine my excitement to see little Abigail Breslin up there in her tiny frock. I was recently playing her stand-in in a new film with Kevin Kline and Rachel Weisz.. I got minimum wages and all the muffins I could steal. She got lots of money and a limo home..Sorry Abbie.. you didn’t win.. but you’ve got 40 more years to practice ..glad at least I’m taller.

I once worked with Marty’s dad and mom on a movie... we even shared a cab up to Gramercy Park where they lived and I lived. They were very old.

And then there’s the time I crashed to Stephen Speilberg’s first party on the Univeral lot for his studio.. the Alamo.. they somehow couldn’t find me on the list no matter how much I tried to convince them of my right to be there… finally, when I refused to take no for an answer they thought it the best thing to escort me off the lot… putting me, actor Joel Weiss and Pepperdine college genius Richard Jacobs in a paddy wagon...complete with bars! Stephen never knew what he missed...sorry guy!

Sat next to Queen Helen Mirren at PS122.. when Eddie Izzard was performing. No one had a clue she was anybody but me.

Now, has Nicole Kidman had squirrel nuts put into her cheeks instead of Botox?

Poor Peter O’Toole..I do have a small role in McLevy’s Ghost...guess we still could get him cheaply..Anyway, he can sleep with the thought that Forest Whitaker probably won’t get too many more great roles …look at Philip Seymour Hoffman…when you so envelope a character, it’s hard to find another role that fits as well.

Best speech…Sherry Lansing.., that is unless they had let Borat speak. I do remember working on a film Ms. Lansing produced… as the CROWD, we had to walk in the rain forever and then in the subway.. we were all freezing…the scene had gone into penalt, meaning we were two hours beyond being broken for lunch and had no access to the EXTRA’s dream, the craftstable… and to make it worse, Sherry and the crew all were devouring pizza brought in for “above the line” as the poor background actors were forced to shlep back and forth for another hour.

Missed: Billy Crystal.. really great jokes.. great songs, the accountants

Points: Pilobus.. amazing, don’t try it at home

Would have preferred missing: Diane Keaton’s Annie Hall movements. Jerry Seinfeld’s rabbit face when he thought no one was looking.

And what a surprise… no FEMALE directors—writers, too... Let’s change that girls.
