Starsky & Hutch (1)

May 25th, 2003

I was on this film four or five times and unfortunately didn’t write much about each experience.

The first shoot was in April of 2003. My car broke down on set, but it wasn’t a big deal. My battery was tired. The cars were only parked anyway. To get home, one of the transpo guys gave me a jump. No big deal. I got a new battery the next day.

The second and third shoots kind of blur together for me. Two different locations, but same kind of stuff in both places: driving. Lots and lots of driving around and around and around. Not bad, though. I wish I could remember more. I never did see what the scene was about.

But I did get camera time. During the cafe scene, my dark teal ‘68 Mustang fastback is clearly seen going from right to left through one of the windows. I’d brought my best friend, Eddie to drive my aqua ‘68 Mustang convertible. He had fun and I had a blast watching him!

There's me in my car!

Eddie and I also worked another gig in downtown LA. I recall it being 2nd Unit (ie. inserts or small shots usually without the principal actors). I tried to drive through frame, but they said my car was too pretty. Eddie got to drive through a few times…and a couple girls hopped in the car, too. He had a great time on that shoot for sure! In fact, he keeps asking me if there are any other shows that want two of my cars at the same time. I’m already looking forward to bringing him along if I ever get on another show like that. I keep hoping…And I’m sure he does, too!

    First, I’d love to be in this contest. It was so great too, to chat with you at RJ. I’m so glad I found out you have your books coming out again!
    When I heard you were in some stories, I was excited but I did remember that I don’t watch TV or movies much! I mostly read :) So when I went to the list I was so hoping you’d have some that were earlier ones and here I am! LOL. You remember scant parts cuz it was so long ago (I feel so old now, LOL) but I remember watching S&H! They didn’t have the show closed captioned for the deaf, but I always enjoyed to ‘watch’ the car chases and all with this show! Some day I’ll find them on DVD and watch with the captions to see what I missed hearing! My hubby would love to see those cars you and your friend drove through with!!! Loved this!
