I covered Mr. Jackson many years ago as a reporter. He shall be missed.

‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ starring Matthew Broderick, Mia Sara, Alan Ruck, Jennifer Grey, Jeffrey Jones, and Charlie Sheen opened in theaters on this day forty years ago (June 11, 1986) 🚘 🎶 🖼️

TRIVIA: Anthony Michael Hall, who had worked with writer/director John Hughes on three previous films, was offered the role of Ferris Bueller but turned it down as he was busy with other projects. Other actors who were considered for the role included Jim Carrey, John Cusack, Jon Cryer, Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, and Michael J Fox. Matthew Broderick was eventually cast in the role because Hughes had him in mind when writing the screenplay. (Wikipedia) 🖤

Dan Aykroyd talking at 100 mph and rattling off alternative movie titles in these outtakes from the TV commercial scene in GHOSTBUSTERS (1984) is comedy gold. One of many moments that shows how much fun the cast was having on set.

Reggie Jackson hits a 2-run homer in game 7 of the 1973 World Series at Oakland Coliseum. He won series MVP after recording 9 hits and 6 rbis.

Lombardi's Swan Song

After nine winning seasons, five NFL titles, and a record of 98-30-4 (.758) as the #Packers' head coach, Vince Lombardi spent a year as Green Bay's GM and then headed to the nation's capital in 1969 to resurrect the #Redskins.

As head coach, he led Washington to a 7-5-2 record — the franchise's first winning season in 14 years.

Tragically, Lombardi would succumb to cancer the following summer at the age of 57.

Paul Sorvino, who played Paulie in Goodfellas, nearly backed out of the film two days before production. The self-described “softie” had spent months agonizing over the role, convinced he didn’t have what it took to play a mafia boss. He explains…

“I didn’t think I could do it, because it was not the kind of role that I felt I really had an affinity for. The externals were easy: middle-aged Italian man. The difficulty was in the lethality that I felt I didn’t possess.

And so even though I wanted to do it, I was sort of faking when I went to the meeting and giving Martin the impression that I knew exactly what to do with it - when I had no idea what to do with it. But I wanted so much to be in a Scorsese movie. I guess he just figured I was capable of it.

It was about two months of preparation to try to get this quality that I knew it called for. I was kind of agonizing over it - I was thinking, “I’m gonna ruin this movie.” I was looking for something to get out of it till two days before we started production.

By virtue of constantly searching to find that kind of quality that killers have, I was preparing to go out one night, passed by the mirror to check for spinach in the teeth, and I jumped back. I literally frightened myself. I saw a look in my eyes that frightened me.

‘Who was that?’

I said, ‘That’s Paulie.’

And once I found it, the role became just a duck in water. It just was so easy to do.”

While filming Rope (1948), a heavy dolly camera broke a crew member’s foot mid-take. Since the shot had been running for minutes, a stagehand covered his mouth and dragged him away so the scream wouldn’t ruin the take for Alfred Hitchcock.
