Skc: Shooting Star - Rodney Harvey
JL
This is referring to the filming of MOPI and the actors
living in van Sant's mansion.
"Poor Gus had just bought the place," says Mickey Cottrell,
the unit publicist. "But he had to move out and into his own
apartment because the guys were up playing music all night,
and he couldn't sleep." "They were up to other tricks too.
"Rodney would call me, starstruck, and tell me that he was
partying with River and Keanu," Anka remembers (Paul Anka's
daughter).
"I really sermonized a lot with those kids," says the film's
script supervisor, Jane Goldsmith. Goldsmith's sister was
struggling with a heroin addiction. "I was getting down on
them because of them using heroin, and they didn't
appreciate that from me." she says. "River would argue with
me, but everyone else was just like, 'Shut up.' Or they
would just nod out."
"There was a whole bunch of orphans up there, not only the
street orphans but the actors themselves." observes William
Richert, whose character, Bob, is the Falstaff among the
film's merry band of boys. "These kids couldn't take care of
each other. They went to a place that was loaded with
junkies. And they're actors exploring characters. It's
like scientists that take their own drugs. On a certain
level, what they were doing was part of the game. They went
into their roles as deeply as they could go." And heroin
was a method to this madness.

By the indications of this article, "Idaho" could have penciled in Keanu's
death warrant too. If he ever had his shit scattered, I hope he's got it
together now.

My chauffeur was injured by a falling gargoyle while standing outside in
Chinese footprints. I rang the doorbell, a woman screamed, a mouse
ran by us through the door. As you can see, I miss nothing.
