It Happened in Brooklyn. . .

So I got a call from a friend in Brooklyn late one night. She was beside herself with glee. In the most dramatic of tones, she said, "Do you know who I saw tonight? Do you know who just autographed my copy of "Pride and Prejudice?" " She paused for effect and then squealed, "Colin Firth!!"

Apparently, Helen Hunt is directing a movie down there and Colin is in it. My friend watched them film one scene about fifty thousand times. I admit that I would not have stayed that long, but she is nothing if not determined. When the shoot was over, she did need a nudge from her husband, however, before she got up the courage to intercept Colin, who was a little grumpy after a long day of filming the same scene over and over, and gush out that "Pride and Prejudice" was the greatest movie ever made! That earned her a smile and Colin agreed to autograph the dvd.

I heard from my friend again last night and the crew will be filming again next Monday and Tuesday. . . she wants me to come. I looked over the schedule and I don't think I will be able to go, but wouldn't it be fun?

I just might need to watch "Pride and Prejudice" again soon.
