Subject: oh just a thanks.
Hi
all! I just wanted to thank all of you that have written to me since my
last posting. It’s really cool to get congrats from people from my class
and from other classes. Thanks so much. It meant a lot to me. It seems you
all ask the same question in the email:) “How was it working with Tom
Cruise and Steven Spielberg. Well, the film is called “Minority
Report”. (it shoots in DC at the end of June). I got to work directly
with Tom Cruise. I just have to say that it was probably the best
experience in my life! Tom and I got along great and acted like we’d
known each other for years. We banter nicely, I might add!! I’m lucky
that my scenes are with him. He is really the nicest and most genuine
actor I’ve ever met. And funny. Oh, and he’s easy to make laugh.
Steven Spielberg, on the other hand, is a pure genius. He’s kind and
smart and best of all..he loved me!! Ha ha! That’s what mattered to me
the most!
So, I
hope that answers your questions from the emails. The film will be
released May 2002. The only picture I posted on my web site from the
movie, is the one of Tom and I. It’s
a cute picture! And yes, it’s really him, not some Hollywood cardboard
cut out! (hahahaha)
