Results: Have you ever been an "Extra" in a movie? In 1970 I was in a movie called "Sometimes A Great Notion" about the logging industry on the Oregon Coast. It was based on the book of the same title by Ken Kessey an Oregon writer.

Did you enjoy the experience being around these Hollywood type people gave you? In my case, I loved it, everyone treated you equally back then, security was extremely lax and we had a great time together, the big stars were very kind to myself and other extras, which was shocking to me at the time.

Did any adverse problems occur because of working in the movie with people so much older than you? For me at the time I was 14 years old, star struck, whatever these people did, I did when I was with them for almost 4 months during that summer. I drank beer on set once because they ran out of water and I started smoking cigarettes because they all smoked cigarettes, I thought it was cool. Eh, not so cool after all. Feel free to comment below.

Did your experience change the way you look at "stars" and "celebrity" in the future? For myself, I lost the feeling of being star stuck indefinitely. I realized that they are all just like us, no different, they just have different jobs that are more public than our jobs for the most part. You couldn't pay me to be famous or to have a job with people constantly wanting your picture or your autograph etc. People like Paul Newman etc were literally hounded to death and I could never handle that. Since then, I have not asked for photos, autographs or anything from anyone, it doesn't even interest me.
