MORE HOLLYWOOD DAYS (SORT OF)

So I watched a couple of movies recently with John Carradine in them back in the late '30s and early '40s, and thought about three degrees of separation (as I've always seemed to experience it, and yes, including with Kevin Bacon) but in this case none (or is it one), since I was in one of the, if not the, last movie(s) he was in: THE NESTING (not in Hollywood but in Irvington-on-Hudson, New York, if I remember correctly).

So I thought to look it up on YouTube to see if there were any scenes between him and me, and found this. It begins with me and the leading lady and includes other scenes but does have a lot of Carradine and me in it. The acting overall in the flick is pretty erratic, including mine (I do a few nods to Elvis it seems to me in the first scene) but I felt like what I did in the scenes with Carradine was pretty good for my second professional job as an actor.

See what you think:

Too much. Carradine can sure chew the furniture. (Meanwhile, I thought Elvis got those moves from you.)

Didn't everyone? The thing I'm most proud of is the director asked me to cry at one point in the scene with Carradine and didn't give me time to prepare but jet said action and somehow I cried, those were real tears on my face at one point...

"Just" for "jet" though I like "jet" too...
