On my last visit to the city--some years now--I took the elevator down from my room to the lobby. As the doors opened, there was a crowd in front of me held back from the lobby by a velvet rope. "What's going on?" I asked.
"They're making a movie," someone replied.
Sure enough, there were the cameras. Extras standing around pretending to be extras. I recall a young kid--very short, maybe 5'2"--with a comb in his back pocket. Just before the action started, he pulled out the comb and ran it through his hair. Not very realistic for a harried waiter, I figured.
I asked someone, "Anyone of note in the film?" They pointed across the lobby which also served as a restaurant. I looked.
Sitting in a booth was Willem Dafoe and Susan Sarandon. I still don't know what movie (or commercial) they were making.
