The Song is You
“Here he was, Gil Hopkins, just some kid from upstate New York, hopped off the Greyhound bus three years back still knocking the snow out of his shoes. Now he’s strutting around the Warner Brothers lot like he owns the place. From writing crop reports for the Syracuse Post-Standard to interviewing Lana Turner for the reading pleasure of just under one million starstruck housewives—all in a few easy steps. God bless this crazy country. Sure, he wasn’t exactly fulfilling anyone’s youthful ideal of... the muckraking reporter, including his own. But he’d tried the newshound gig for the better part of a year and it never really took. Turned out he was born to this, not so much reporter as candyman, spinning knots of sugar into cotton candy so fine you could see through it. And yes, sometimes it was as routine as working the line at Ford Motors. Some days, he’d be counting the seconds before he could finish the frothy on-set interviews and escape to the back lot with the grips and, occasionally, some hep outcast actor like Bob Mitchum or John Ireland, to smoke reefers and shoot crap.MoreLess
