:07:01
Incidentally,
I don't know if I had told you this.
:07:04
A couple of years ago I was in Chicago.
:07:07
Giant was being run on television at night,
and I'd just come back from the theater.
:07:13
I don't like to watch films on television...
:07:17
particularly those that I am involved with.
:07:21
But I was curious.
:07:23
And so...
:07:25
I knew when I would be
the 45 to 50-year-old age...
:07:29
about the same time I tuned in to look.
:07:33
And I looked at myself...
:07:36
and ran to the mirror and looked,
and it was exactly the same...
:07:40
including where the gray is,
where most of the gray is.
:07:44
To a tee. It was exactly.
:07:45
So now I know
what I'm going to look like when I'm 70.
:07:49
It used to be, in Hollywood,
that they would take mature actors...
:07:53
and when they had
to shoot the young parts...
:07:57
make them up to look young
and give them...
:07:59
special lighting, special lenses,
and so forth.
:08:02
George had the idea
to take young people...
:08:06
because Elizabeth Taylor,
Rock Hudson, and Jimmy Dean...
:08:10
were all in their 20s...
:08:13
and, as the film progressed, to age them.
:08:18
So that was
kind of a revolutionary thing to do.
:08:22
One of the characteristics
that marked my father...
:08:25
was a tremendous self-confidence
in terms of making films.
:08:31
In getting from Los Angeles
to the location of Giant...
:08:36
in Marfa, Texas,
we went on this one splendiferous train.
:08:41
A big, long train with everybody on it.
:08:44
It was an incredibly fun...
:08:46
and interesting event just to get there,
because there were so many of us.
:08:51
We had Elizabeth Taylor playing,
and she was 24 years old at the time.
:08:55
I must say that I was,
besides becoming really a friend....
