I recently read Penny Marshall’s memoir My Mother Was Nuts. In talking about the first movie she directed, Jumpin’ Jack Flash with Whoopi Goldberg. Penny said she brought Jim Belushi’s character back to life. She related that she put a bandage on his head and told him, “You’re alive, here’s your lines”. Then she reflects, “If only we could do that in real life.” Yes. If only.
