Friday the 13th (1980) was filmed about fifteen miles or so from where I grew up in New Jersey. Some of the scenes were shot at a place called Ghost Lake on Shades of Death Road. I knew the area somewhat.
Mr. North (1988) was filmed in Newport, Rhode Island while I was living there. I spent a little time near the set and saw Lauren Bacall, Robert Mitchum and Anthony Edwards. After they wrapped up a day's shooting, Mitchum waved to us as he drove off in a Model A Ford.
"The first thing I thought was this script is a piece of shit!"
Ha! Ha! So funny. But to add to the story, Betsy's car had just conked out on her and she was in the market to get herself a new Jeep. She found one she liked and the price of the jeep was $10,000, which was the exact offer the producers had made for her to do the movie. So she did it and she got her new Jeep! I love it when stuff like that happens! You don't even have to think about your decision. All the hard work is done for you!
