Ms. Hepburn

oldhollywood:

From Katharine Hepburn’s 1981 interview with Barbara Walters: 
Hepburn: “I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man…I’ve just done what I damn well wanted to and I made enough money to support myself. And I ain’t afraid of being alone.”
Walters: “Is that why also you wear pants?”
Hepburn: “No, I just wore pants because they’re comfortable.”
Walters: “Do you ever wear a skirt, by the way?”
Hepburn: “I have one.”
Walters: “You have one.”
Hepburn: “I’ll wear it to your funeral.”

Can you tell me how to get...

I had a fantastic week! One of the best days was Operating on a spot for Sesame Street. Specifically, we went with some Sesame Street workshop researchers to a pre-school upstate. This was good for 2 reasons: 1) Fall is in FULL swing here so the ride up was gorgeous! It was all warm colors and trees of texture, my favorite. 2) These kids at the pre-school were freakin a-dorable. Honestly, if I was allowed to post some stills of these eatemup cuties yet I would and THEN you would understand. I also worked with fantastic people including one of my favorites, Ben Bloodwell. So I guess that’s 3.

We were able to see the start to finish process of how a Sesame Street episode comes to be. Children’s capacity for information absorption is always impressive to me. The researchers will do what they call a pre-testing in which they show them various pictures. One of which was a pulley. Some of the 3.5 year olds knew what it did even if they didn’t know what it was called. To me = impressive. Then, of course, they show them a mock episode teaching them about the pulley and the language for the pulley and voila! they know more about pulleys than your average tot. I digress about the pulley, you get the gist. :) pulley, pulley, pulley.

Yesterday, I Operated on a spot for a woman talking about her book, Bonding Over Beauty. There was a very green PA on set who I ended up spending a lot of time with when a few of us went to Quality Meats (where we had 18oz sirloins. For real) after the shoot. She is the epitome of green, but in a good, refreshing way. Everything is still new and wondrous. What she lacks in knowledge, she fills in with aptitude. She’s comfortable with her inexperience and invites the opportunity to learn. It’s always a pleasure to teach someone like that.

She asked me what my first job was and I honestly couldn’t remember. I’m pretty sure my first paid job (outside of college jobs etc) was a rap music video that I don’t remember the name of. Ha. It was in St. Louis after all so the odds are pretty good.

Mindless Behavior

Prodigy Interview
I got to operate with my good friend Zachary Galler (we shot with my F3, rented a 2nd one and a set of Super Speeds) on these interviews/promo footage of Mindless Behavior: a cute, well-mannered boy band ala 21st century.  They really did seem genuinely enthusiastic about all of it and enjoyed hanging out with one another. They still seem grateful, talented and excited. It was fun watching them interact. And they really did talk about girls all the time.

Some sample lyrics from one of their hit songs:
“Hey, my girl, my girl, she loves me. She hit me all the time, she be texting me. Hey, my girl, my girl, she loves me. She hit me all the time -

[Spoken:] Yo Prod, let ‘em know.

When I say hey, then you say what’s up? And I’ll be like baby, do you miss me? When you say yes, then I’ll say ditto. Then you hit me back, with the less than symbol number three.

I got a clue how you feel for me. 1-4-3 a smiley with a wink. That’s how you feel baby that’s what’s up. A hundred forty characters, is more than enough.”

The lyrics are what they are. By no means groundbreaking, but I guess I'm not their target audience either.. I suppose I feel like our parents felt when they heard “Shoop” for the first time? And anyone in my generation knows that song is the best. Just ask any of my friends that have been to karaoke with me.
