Hollywood comes to town

[Tess]

My adopted town of Charleston was invaded by Hollywood this week. They are filming a movie, "The Notebook", starring James Garner, Gena Rowlands, and Sam Shepherd. It's directed by Nick Cassavettes. Part of the movie is set in the 1940's, so they chose downtown Charleston. It is a historic district, so much of the old architecture is preserved. With a little bit of signage, a little bit of spruce up, and a lot of nostalgia, the street where I work was transformed into a different era.

It was fun walking the street during lunch and soaking up all the detail.

Just thought I'd share it with my new friends.

have to put my small two cents worth in here lol- Two big stars have been in New Zealand (my home country lol) recently filming movies- Gwyneth Paltrow, and Tom Cruise, so made our lil country a bit more interesting as of late lol its always cool to get big celebs down here, so look out for N.Z scenery in upcomming films ted and silvia(where they made a university here look 'american'), and the last samurai (not to mention the 3 lord of the rings movies :D)
