Today I worked with Martin Landau and Ellen Burstyn!!!!

[Omaha Steve]

I had to cancel out on breakfast tomorrow with Gov. Richardson. I have to cover for somebody at work tomorrow. But today I was filmed as an extra for the film "Lovely Still". I'm at the end of the third scene shot this morning. My spot while waiting to film was literally next to both Mr. Landau and Ms. Bursytn. I couldn't resist. I started a conversation with both of them. No attitude or shine him on look. I brought up "Same Time, Next Year" and "Mission: Impossible". Great people with their fans. It is being shot in Omaha, so there was no picket line. I think you all know if there had a been a line, I would have stood in the picket line instead. Music for the film will be by recording star Conor Oberst and his band Bright Eyes.

Want to be an extra? Go to Durham Monday

You don't need acting credentials to be in this movie. You just need to wear cold-weather clothing.

The casting director from Overture Films will be at the main entrance of the Durham Western Heritage Museum, 801 S. 10th St., at 8 a.m. Monday to select extras for the filming of "Lovely Still."

The film is about a frail man who doesn't know love or happiness until the Christmas of his 78th year. The extras are needed for scenes that will be filmed Monday at the museum. Participants must sign a release to participate.

Nick Fackler, an Omaha native, is the film's writer and director. Academy Award winners Martin Landau and Ellen Burstyn appear in the film.

2. Congrats Steve, is this the start of a new career? I watched them

do some filming for a movie once and it really is interesting and nothing lie what I expected. Sometimes they do the end first, different parts, different places, can be a slow process.

Thanks again for your posts on here.

6. Aren't you Special!

YES! :toast: I'd totally be bursting at the seams! Too bad about the Richardson cancellation tomorrow but if it had been Edwards I bet you'd find a way to go! :)

7. I think you have a good point there

I didn't know James would call in sick with a fever today, or I probably would have gone to work. I've still attended functions with Edwards and Biden in the last 2 months.
