(no subject)
I finished reading "The Time Traveler's Wife" this morning and just started (in a completely different style) "Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends" by Bill Guarnere and Babe Heffron, aka real members of Easy Company, portrayed in "Band of Brothers".
I've only read the foreword so far (written by Tom Hanks), but this made me laugh:
"Frank John Hughes, who played Wild Bill Guarnere, had a special duty that required his wearing his uniform/costume off the set. Looking exactly like an American paratrooper of 1944, complete with his set of jump wings, his pant legs blouse into his Corcoran boots, and a Screaming Eagle patch on his shoulder, Hughes reported to Heathrow Airport.* VIP guests were due in from the United States, and he was to escort them to the movie set.
With a crisp salute at ramrod attention, the actor greeted Wild Bill Guarnere and Babe Heffron upon their return to England.
*In uniform, Hughes attracted many looks of admiration, especially from women."
Haha! No kidding! *pleads guilty* ;)
