ACTORS JOHN ASHTON and LISA EILBACHER HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH IN HOLLYWOOD
The Central Florida Film Festival was showing BEVERLY HILLS COP and showing up for a Q&A were John Ashton and Lisa Eilbacher two of the main stars who played along side Eddie Murphy. They sat on stage and spoked candidly about the movie and acting in general. I did not know Slyvester Stallone was the first choice and only John saw the finished project and only once. John spoke passionately that true acting is found on the stage as movies are always in the hands of the editors and Director.
Personally never looked at it that way but it makes perfect sense. John mentioned that with several takes the one you might think was your best may end of the cutting floor with the final choice by the Director. Lisa spoke of her famous curls that many talked about and how much fun they all had during filming. Lisa spoke of her role in An Officer and a Gentleman and giving it up to raise a family. Now after the Q&A is when my faith in Hollywood returned. A few of us approached them with a few photos for their autograph which they did without hesitation. Lately almost any celebrity of little or perceived fame have a comment concerning EBAY. Not one mention of this word was echoed by these fine actors as they signed several just for one person who I have never seen before and I really believe that he was a fan. If we could bottle the kindness and lack of assumptions by these two fine actors and give it out to everyone, HOLLYWOOD could find some greatness that has been lost over the years.
I only have Praise and a Thank You to John and Lisa.
