Director Gary Nelson, backed up by producer Ronald Jacobs, believes in shooting only on location, or at least as much as possible. So they were outside on this hot Los Angeles day working at a busy street corner. LeMat and Olkewicz were in a red Porsche, which had been pulled over by a large cop made larger bacuse he was sitting on a large horse. (Just before the scene began, Nelson had the foresight to ask the actor playing the cop if he had ever been on a horse before; he said he had, and luckily looked like he was telling the truth. This left the other actors free. Gary Coleman went for a walk with his bodyguard by his side. Gary's father, Willie, stayed behind. Willie is a pleasant man who worked for a large chemical firm in Chicago until a 79 taxi accident left him with an injured shoulder. He says he is on "extended total disability." 3 He said that Gary is 47 inches tall now and they expect he will top feet, 11 inches off at around 4 feet, 10 inches or maybe an even 5 feet. Fortunately for the boy Gary is 13 now he has an acting career to compensate for his disability. Ron Jacobs, the producer, says he thinks Gary will be a big star "the public is telling us that already." Jacobs believes, he says, "in God's law of compensation God is making up to Gary for his bad kidneys by giving him charisma." During breaks in the filming, LeMat came over to sit in what little shade the location had to offer. He says he likes hot weather, which is lucky because he sure got it that day. He also got plenty on his last film "Death for his earlier reputation? i ve cnangea regarding interviews," he says. "When I first began my career, I didn't do them. I was a purist, and I believed in art for art's sake and all that, and I didn't feel that doing interviews was part of my job I aciea oniy ior myseu. Valley." "Death Valley" is, LeMat explained, a Hitchcockian film and"Jimmy the Kid" is a comedy. But that was not a result of any careful planning on his part, he says; it was just a coincidence that he has managed to alternate types of films. "I wish I could say I planned things," he says. "But I took 'Death Valley' because I ,ved Dick Richards (the director) and I took it has very Ui.: because it's an unusual film little violence and profanity, and I like that." He says pictures with a minimum of violence and profanity are very rare these days. He wants to play good people in films that have goodness in them. He turned down "The Deer Hunter," he says, "because I felt the violence was gratuitous." "But then two things happened. I got married, and career advancement became more important ot me. Ana then, several pictures I did were not promoted well, and so I just decided that I had to do interviews after all." They went back to work then, into the scene with LeMat and Olkewicz and the cop and the horse. Traffic flowed by; in Hollywood there are so many movies shot that it is an every-" t j il; aay wing ior muionsis 10 pass movie com panies at work. . "I'm not totally against violence," LeMat kY ta& says, "but I do feel it has to be within limits." Among Hollywood journalists, LeMat had acquired a reputation for being difficult to talk to. He proved to be even impossible he was pleaanything but that, however sant, easygoing, affable. How did he account Yj Newest odd couple. Only one dog in a passing car seemed to care. He barked at the horse wildly, and kept barking and ruined a take. They couldn't start shooting until the light changed and the car carrying the dog moved on. That's moviemaking in Hollywood.
