“Auntie Goldie! Oh, my goodness, the news, it's nuts.”
“Well, hello, are you sure you want to talk to the evil witch who brought down the Victor Superhero Universe?”
“I do. Mom and I have been worried about you.”
“Tell your mom I’m fine. I’m in hiding. How is your mom?”
“You know, eyeballs deep in the color of the sky at dawn in July, in Montauk.”
“Ah, sure, I know it well.”
“She can get distracted by color palettes, and I’m like, hello! Can we get back to designing?”
“Ah, it’s her process. I’m glad you’re there to drive the bus when needed.”
“So, hiding out. Is it that serious?”
“I had a water bottle come at me at a high rate of speed, and Trevor Sunday’s minions are bent on making my life in L.A. miserable right now. But it will pass. They’ll get over this movie delay and start obsessing about some other stupid thing.”
“According to Twitter, you’re unhinged, but those that love you know the truth. Never fear.”
“Oh, except today, in my super-secret lair, I lost it completely when I ruined my best walking shoes.”
“I hope it wasn’t serious.”
“They were five-hundred-dollar shoes!”
“So, very serious. Got it.”
“Look, I just wanted to check-in. Tell your mom I’m good. I love you both.”
“Love you too, Aunt Goldie.”
“Good luck helping your mom capture the color of the sky at dawn.”
“In Montauk, don’t forget, the color is Montauk specific.”
“Got it. Talk to you soon.”
“Take care!”
Goldie hung up the phone. It was good to let them know she was okay; hiding out, yes, but okay.
Goldie sacrificed everything for her career, happily.
But one sacrifice had been the hardest, even though it had no doubt been the best.
Goldie
1999
By the last week of filming onTenured,everyone on the crew had Oscar dreams in their heads.
From the very first day of shooting, the dailies were getting raves from the studio execs.
The movie was based on the book, and even the author had given thumbs up to the work they were doing. Goldie played the free spirit, the troubled young woman in need of a ride to California. Dustin Toms was the lead. He was playing the grizzled oldprofessor who, after the death of his wife, embarks on a cross-country trip.
He gives Goldie’s character a ride, and they fall into a romance. Dustin was playing older against his normal action star type. They’d let his hair go gray at the temples for this.
