Sigourney Weaver's chair! Where she sits!
Sigourney Weaver tries to stay warm on the set of "Prayers for Bobby"
Hair and make-up at the Farmer's Market in Royal Oak
Never had I been so close to a filming crew, or Sigourney Weaver, until the team of the Lifetime telepic "Prayers for Bobby" shot a pride parade in downtown Royal Oak today. In between the assistant directors calling "Cut!" and telling the almost-1,000 extras to pretend Sigourney was not indeed Sigourney (or someone with an icky alien bursting out of her chest – which he never said, but I thought they might imagine that), I witnessed the A-list actress walking from prop tent to the shooting site with her umbrella assistant, sipping from a Biggby cup and doing a little dance, presumably to heat up her 6-foot figure. Were you an extra? How'd you stay warm in those cut-off shorts!?
For more on the shoot, check out my story in Between The Lines in the June 26 issue.

Wow...she's one of my favorite actresses, and you were that close to her...nice!! Did you get her to autograph a pride flag? ;-)
Ha. Is she? And, no, no autographs – but, I was super close to her practically all day! It was pretty surreal.
What a fun day that must have been! Ha, now I can appreciate what it was like to see the whole crew in action. :)
"This is for film - A mark - B mark - Rolling - Action!"
I'm sure that day had a completely different feel, though. Each scene has to be so diverse to film, depending on surroundings, actors, circumstances, etc... I'd have loved to be in the parade. Hehe.
Lucky duck - you got to be close to Sigourney! I'm so excited to see this movie!! :)
