kenya they gave me that pig how old are you um i turned 22 last saturday congratulations 22.
charlie apparently just had a taste for bacon uh you know i i saw you in that mystic pizza
i thought that was a real nice film now was that your first sort of major motion picture although
it was i guess people described that as kind of a small film wouldn't they yeah well it was
it was small in kind of theory and budget yeah but still very entertaining
i i thought so yeah how did you get the part for that
i got the part i went to this audition my hair is naturally blonde kind of dark but
now it's it's a little sort of auburn isn't it it's a it's a it's a red chestnut thing um
uh
so uh i went i went to this audition and there are a lot of very very blonde kind of willowy
girls there as well and they're all reading their sides and being very kind of
reading their sides means the audience they're not doing this
uh and so so they're going over the scene there to audition with right and i went
in and i thought you know if i sit here and and read this and i'm gonna go in and be like every
one of these girls so i put my my walkman on and i was listening to um jimi hendrix at monterey
yeah and uh i started to kind of this feeling came over me and next time i was throwing pencils into
the ceiling and all the girls started to kind of notice and get very nervous and there's something
about one person not looking at them you know what do they know that i don't know exactly like
you're better prepared or something like i have like the inside track so i i began to uh to sing
a wild thing kind of very loudly and and i consequently made everyone very nervous
and and went in having manifested this very bold attitude read for the part which i thought went
fine and was then told that i was i was good but physically completely wrong they were looking for
part they were looking for someone who looked more portuguese which is supposed to be a portuguese
descent and the blonde kind of wasp thing wasn't working so what did you do i went home yeah and uh
on the way home i kept i kept hearing in my head physically completely wrong
yeah and i lived down at the south street seaport at that time and just as i got home i lived across
the street from a lambstance and i went into lambston's and i was in search of a black moose
i was going to color my hair because i i was told that although i was physically totally wrong i
could meet the director the next day so in search of a black moose i found one company for like
the price of 95 cents i got this enormous can of happiness black mousse and i put it in my hair and
it was a massive amount of mousse was in my hair my hair was extremely curly and very black yeah
the only problem was that if i was to touch my hair my hands would be black comes right
off yeah um so i went back the next day and i read for the director and nobody touched me
which was a good thing because i didn't want anyone do they usually touch when you go in
is there a lot of that going on no not with me but what ultimately happened was i was called
back yet again to read with the gentleman that eventually played the part of charlie adam stork
a really great guy who we had this scene which is a very kind of touching scene and he spent the
entire scene kind of saying daisy daisy running his hands through my hair and they were black
when it was over yeah um but we both got the part and i went home in the rain and ruined my
favorite blouse uh that did did you shoot the the whole movie was done in and around mystic is that
right yeah yeah that's a nice little area isn't it yeah it's nice did you go to stonington we filmed
