My Daughters Movie Debut In Cannes In The Fall

Please don't get excited, just a mothers boast.

Two summer ago a movie crew here and did some shooting for a movie. It is called "Dog Days of Summer". We have not heard much so I googled it. The movie will make it's film debut in Cannes Film Festival in the Fall. The move stars Will Patton, and boy is he such a nice guy and very down to earth.

Annie plays the "girlfriend" of married Pastor Salem, played by R. Keith Harris (did a Spiderman stint), but his name is not on my celeb list. No improprieties as the girl friend, just walking in an out of his home. She was one to two "townies" that had a more significant role. Non speaking role, but not an extra either.

Oh, well. It's just a fun little experience in her young life.

Nothing redeeming in this post, but I think it's kinda cool.

Oh, how exciting!!! Cannes too??? She must be thrilled.

Remember what they say. There is NO SUCH THING as a bit part. She's there. She (and you) should enjoy every minute of it.

Keep us posted on all of this and let us know if it comes out on DVD. I'd love to see it.

That's pretty cool. My grandfather had a very small role in a British War Movie back in the 50's. He had one speaking line, something along the lines of "General, here's the map." I forget. and he's seen in the background several times. When it became available through some obscure movie video sales place in Europe, my mom obtained a copy, and it's a treasured family object.

Hopefully in this day and age, it'll be easier to have and keep you're daughters movie!

And who knows where it might lead...have you ever seen those TV specials where the highlight famous peoples first movie/tv appearence? Many times it's pretty modest.

I was a stunt double in a kayak a few years ago for a Chevy truck commercial. Unfortunately, I never actually saw the commercial, but I was paid well for the day and received a few modest residual checks. To this day, it's the most money I've made in one day! And it was interesting to be on set for the day.

Congrats! Is it a "chick flick"? If so, I'll probably end up seeing it, as my wife loves them!

Thanks Nancy, it's fun. But to wait. Annie is the left of my avatar. She's a sweetie, but down with the flu, first wedding anniversary June 10 and calling momma. I like that. :)

Mothers are supposed to boast. It's neat that your daughter got to be in a movie.

I have to agree, how cool!! My ex husbands brother had a friend, trying to make it in the movie business, started just like your daughter is, and now is a stand in (sometimes) for Ben Stiller in certain movies, I forget which and I am not calling the ex to find out!

But still, way cool for your daughter!! wooohooo!

thats great, yeah as was said above there is no such thing as a small part. My great great grandpa was in merry popins, he played the man on the roof that had the cannon. my whole family still remembers him to this day because of it, its amazing how a small part in anything can stick with generations

Thanks for that link, B. It looks good. I'll bet my son would really like it.

Lister--I loved Mary Poppins! I saw it as a child, and had the album with all of the music from the movie. That's really something that your great-grandpa was in it. :D

Lisa - - very cool! :) I myself was an extra in two movies....."Ed TV" w/ Matthew McConnaughey - - YES he was ON SET filming the same day I was, in San Francisco.....I stood about four feet away from him at one point, and nearly fainted! Also I filmed a full day for "Puppet Masters" here in Fresno.

Alas, I did end up on cutting room floor, in BOTH!! :angry: Ha ha, still can't complain, had a blast doing both and will never forget either.

Oh, funny thing is, when I did casting call in SF for Ed TV, I lived in Monterey. about two months went by, and I totally forgot about it....they called at 11 pm on April 1st. I thought it was my friend Roger, playing a joke as he knew how much I loved Matthew.....but no, it was true! They wanted me in SF at 8 a.m. the next day, with five outfits, to play a paparazzo. Holy cow, I called my mom at that hour (she also lived in Monterey), said, I have this and this scheduled for tomorrow, what should I do?? and she said.....HONEY, it's MATTHEW, snap out of it, you are GOING!! :lol: so I got about two hours of sleep, got up at 3, left at 5 and arrived on time. Didn't even begin filming until 5 pm the next day. But ate and chatted all day and goofed off, got paid for it. Made many friends, and then did the Bay to Breakers with them a month later....a whole OTHER story!

Stood next to Ron Howard, who is VERY nice, as he watched the dailies. :)

Would you believe, out of our entire two days of filming (both movies), hardly any of it made it to the screen. :huh: In fact, the entire day in Fresno, involving many repeat helicopter landings, was re-shot. Very long and taxing, these filming days. Very complex. Gave me a whole new appreciation for movie making.

Anywho, it's a blast, and she is SO fortunate to actually be IN the movie!! You will go out of your mind when you see her, Lisa. :)

Susie Q --

Matthew McConnaughey -- oooooooooooooh! Isn't he still single? I saw some television program that featured him at his home. He sleeps in every bedroom of the house because he likes them all! I thought that was pretty cool. Not to mention that the man is WAY too gorgeous! You need to find out if he's doing another movie and apply for a part as an extra again. This time, though, be more assertive -- introduce yourself, sweetie!

:lol::lol: Yes you lunatic, that's about all we did together.....he was not friendly, unlike woody harrelson, who was flirting with everyone (he seemed......altered, I am sure that is not hard to belive). Matthew looked right at me, didn't even smile or anything. And Lynnie - - I was MUCH prettier and younger......um, guess what, Matthew is reported to be quite stinky, he refuses to use deodorant and doesn't bathe regularly.....but he is allegedly QUITE fun....yes, very hot.....I like his airstream and his barbecuing prowess....not sure about the naked marijauana-induced bongo playing :huh:

but, um, let's see.....he broke up with Penelope Cruz and also Sandra Bullock, and he does want children......I don't really think he would give little ol' ME the time of day, I gah-raun-tee it. :lol: Besides, I ahve lost interest in him......moved on.....don't have a new crush these days - - although there IS a photo of Dr. McDreamy on my fridge.

Lisa, you will have to tell us precisely what part your daughter's in so we can nonchalantely say ....''Oh yeah,...that's Lisa's daughter - know the family really well ;) ''

....I like his airstream and his barbecuing prowess

...which are of course VERY important qualities....

....not sure about the naked marijauana-induced bongo playing :huh:

:huh::lol::lol::lol:

Congratulations,

Your girls are both beautiful. Who knows maybe this could be one of those things that leads somewhere and if not it can be one of those things you can all look back on in years to come. I think that is just wonderful and I think it's great that you are proud of her.

Mother's hold the right to brag and Dad's hold the right to the remote control.

Have a happy mother's day!!!

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
