"CALLSHEET DAY 1 OF 4" |
||||
 Early setup in progress |
 Bob Munns' agent, whose name I have forgotten, if I ever knew it |
 One of the "H.S. Girls" or maybe the central one, and a crew member |
 Another girl, one of several who found the boy irresistable after his Tesla treatment |
 Yes, there is considerable hardware involved |
 More hardware |
 An adult victim of the Tesla Effect, had a very active role |
 These dedicated technicians are setting up the Tesla flashes that lend drama to the Effect (and my scene; next slides, please) |
 Acting my heart out in my final appearance on the big screen |
|
|
 The director asked if that was as fast as I could go. Yes, going fast as I can, boss. |
|
|
 Lunch was substantial and important |
 Another girl |

 Paul Peglar "Nimitz", beneficiary of all this action, with a crew member |
 A girl and her lunch |
 Paul Peglar, principal character #1, solo shot, with lunch |
 Crew member in busy shot |
 Hope Shapiro, principal character #5, "Mrs Modrigle" According to IMdB she seems to have been the most frequently employed of all the performers |
 Director Sean—or Shane—McAllen |
|
|
 Gma and Gpa |
 Busy Lunch shot |
 More lunching |
 This lady was pretty much in charge of seeing that the production kept rolling I'm not certain, but I'd have to guess she is Jeanine Rohn, "On Set Coord" |
 "Nimitz" would have just come over the fence, pursued by the Girls. I do not remember what was the missile connection, if any. But there it was |
 "Looks good to me" |
 Weirdness everywhere you looked |
 "What's my motivation?" |
 Mr Munns, "Grandpa" in his military getup, explaining to some degree the kid's name |
 Someone in the neighborhood took notice of the proceedings |
 Appreciated attention |
 Accepting—and giving—direction is not always pleasant |
 Serious action took place in the alley, the Girls chasing "Nimitz" home. Note his dishevelment at their hands. I don't think those guys up against the wall are being patted down |
 Supper at Gpa's house, not that formal |
 Photographer Brad Rushing (?) and Director Sean/Shane McAllen are sensing something good |
 It all takes some intense arranging to get it right |
 Will young "Nimitz" be able to understand old Gpa's assertions? |
 Almost ready to roll |
 Technician awaiting his cue. Much of those paraphernalia were already in the garage of the rented Ladera Heights house. During the late 1950s, while I was in the U.S. Air Force, and my Dad was still a high-level administrator at USC, the family had a home in View Park, a northeastern neighbor of Ladera Heights, and just up the street from the USC campus. That Monteith Drive house had two distinctions, according to the agents who sold it to them: living-room indirect lighting was designed (or influenced) by Frank Lloyd Wright; Harry Bellafonte owned the house across the street. Several photos of the residence have been lost, strayed, or stolen, but I have recovered one, a view of the back of the house, featuring a "sun porch", from the bottom of an extensive sloping garden. Can now add a view of the front aspect, complete with the 1953 Ford Sunliner convertible, contributor to many entertaining hours, 1960 - 1963. |
 There were several exchanges between Gpa and Gma that took place in the kitchen. More arranging |
 "Yeah, I can do that. Should I?" |
 Is this the real Paul Peglar? |
 "See, I told you it would work" |
 The idea is, you should look remarkable, not bland. You're getting there |
 Bob is in the kitchen, but we can still see what he's up to |
 Day's work done |
 And we enjoyed it. Right? |
