LIVING IN THE PAST: MY MEETING WITH MEL

I had a meeting with Mel Gibson this weekend. Partly to pitch a brilliant screenplay I've written, partly because I'm a pathetic little star hound.

"Miller... Is that a Jewish name?" "No it isn't, Mr. Gobson." "Oh, it's no big deal. Have a seat." "I've written a script called '1999." I could see you playing the astronaut." "Are you sure you're not Jewish?" "Sure, I'm sure. It's a science fiction story, but it's set in 1999." "You look Jewish."
