Dwight Yoakam was already cast, and then he called Fida, and said, "What about Sheryl Crow?" So that started that Sheryl Crow ball rolling. And I was dubious, so that turned out to be a process. I looked at all the music videos to see how she was; that all made sense to me. Dwight's very astute, he's brilliant in a lot of ways, so that had to be taken very seriously. Of course the money like the idea a lot, because she's famous. And so it was a process. And she was extremely conscientious, and very open, and very humble. She wanted to do it, she loved the project, she was excited, and it would take some work. So she and I didn't work-I read and I talked, and I told her what I thought and stuff-but then it turned out she was working on the side. We had about three readings, and then I think she got an acting coach, and she started working. And by the third reading, I thought, "Okay, this'll work." And then I didn't see her again for a couple of months. And then when she showed up in LA the night before we were supposed to start shooting, I was scared to death. "What have I done?" I don't know what's gonna happen with her, she's not a seasoned pro, and all that stuff. So we had a rehearsal the night before, Sunday night, at her house in LA. And I had-[to Fida] What's his name, the bartender from Fargo? Fida Attieh: John Carrol Lynch. HF: John Carrol Lynch and Owen Wilson, and I was shaky. And they never met her before, what if she goes down the tubes with the pressure of these actors and me now sitting in her room, and she knows the lines now and I'm gonna start directing a little bit. As soon as she opened her mouth we were home free, "Oh, good! We're in good shape." And then when we shot the next day, it was a ball. She was great. She loved doing it, she was at home with the crew. "...everybody in this film was a piece of the puzzle that made the whole picture..." That's another thing, see, everybody in this film was a piece of the puzzle that made the whole picture, and she was a piece, for sure. She came right in, integrated, everyone adored her, she adored everyone; I mean, I'm talking about a couple of seconds. So she walks out of her trailer across the street into the location [snaps fingers] Woo! We all had our arms around each other and we wailed. So it wasn't like, "Cut! Uh, listen, let's try it this way." It was like, "Good! Okay, let's try another angle on that." So it was smooth. Everybody swam in the same direction, and it was no problem. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 18:13:13 -0000 From: "spinspinsugargirlie" Subject: [sheryl-crew] advert for those people who were watching bbc one after neighbours today did you noticed that the BBc are using an instrumental version of It don't hurt to advertise thier webwise affiar ok judith ------------------------------ End of sheryl-crew-digest V4 #72 ********************************
