35. There Was A Great Story From The Actors Involved With The Movie 'Contact'....
|
They talked about Carl, dying of Cancer at the time, who would stop mid-bite of spaghetti and meatballs... and talk about the Cosmos and what the story of 'Contact' might mean...
And the actors recountened... that when Carl held his fork fully loaded with the afore mentioned meal... and held it there to make a point on science... ALL the actors stopped eating too.. they wanted the information... and did not want their personal needs to interrupt the knowledge that was being imparted.
