Betty O. was able to sneak peeks at some of the filming that was done in Richmond and shared some of the shots with us on a different venue. Betty, do you still have them ready for posting? I also met a woman several weeks ago who visited the Surratt House. Her son is in the movie and was very impressed with what a wonderful person Spielberg is to work with - very caring of his cast and crew, never made them work on weekends, etc.

Yes, Laurie - I do have all the photos! That was a wonderful experience and I DID get to talk with Mr. Spielberg briefly at least 3 times. I can verify everything that the lady told you about him. Wonderful person indeed! He's very congenial and down to earth - a fantastic guy....and no he does not make his cast/crew work on weekends OR holidays! I wouldn't mind working for Mr. Spielberg at all! It'd be an honor!
