Scoring With Al!
Ever just want to hang out with Al Pacino? You know, with him and some of his junkie friends? Well, there is a movie where you can do just that….a time when he was just an upcoming young Actor…
As we celebrate April 25th 2020 as Al’s 80th birthday, let’s look at some of his classic performances!
We all know Al Pacino – thanks in part to such memorable roles as the ruthless drug dealer Tony Montana from “Scarface”!

80! Good grief. No way. I just watched ‘Insomnia’ the other night for the first time. It was back in 2003, I think. Anyway, he is an icon and I think it would be fun to meet him. Have you?

Cindy, I did once…he’s a friendly, quirky guy who KNOWS that he’s Al Pacino, but in a good way….Bruce Willis KNOWS he’s Bruce Willis in the worst way for example….

Oh, what a shame. I love Bruce Willis. Maybe now that he is older and his career has shriveled up, he has learned to be humble. I am happy to hear Al is just as I imagine him to be. Quirky and fun.

No! 80! When he did American Buffalo in London in the eighties, I was assigned to find his accommodation, driver, fulfil all whims as was normal with A-list clients. He wanted a driver who was an out of work actor. I recommended a young friend of my husbands. It was the gig of his life! He stayed at The Ritz but was honestly the most gentle and undemanding client I ever had the pleasure of looking after and so kind to a wet behind the ears rookie training as an Agent and dreaming of a star-studded client list. I wish him the happiest of happy birthdays and thank you for this brilliant reminder of him 💫

Love that. I have to say I hope our Governor follows suit. We are indoors til May 4th and I really don’t want to see an early lifting of restrictions as tough as it is for so many.
