30 Seconds of Fame

On Tuesday May 26th (the same day as my last ultrasound) there was a movie being filmed in Downtown Portland, a few blocks away from my office. I was super excited because I was thinking I might get to meet a movie star or two. Well, Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell were here filming a movie called "Crowley" scheduled to come out next April. Even though I didn't have tons of time, I decided to take a little stroll to Pioneer Place to see which movie stars I could spot (and possibly meet)....likely story I know!
Anyway, after doing some wandering around and not seeing anything (mainly because it was their lunch break) I figured I would wait a few more minutes and then walk back to the office. I got lucky in my few minutes because I was asked to be an extra (walking on the sidewalk in the background of the film). So, I did my little strut (along with the other extras) on the sidewalk of 6th and Yamhill and after they were done filming that, I finally spotted a movie star. There right across the street from my "extra walking" was Brendan Fraser. It was my lucky day because I just happened to have my camera in my purse and was able to take a few shots of Brendan getting ready to be filmed. I was crossing my fingers I didn't get in trouble for taking the photos by the camera crew, but my super sly paparazzi skills went unnoticed.
I was hoping to maybe see Harrison Ford as well, but today was the day of Brendan which was still pretty cool for a normal girl like me to at least "spot" a famous person.

Anyway, look for me walking in the background with tons of other people next year in the movie Crowley...woohoo!!!!

You can see a little bit about the movie by visiting this website:
