Dear Friends, Friday was our annual celebration of the season, on stage in Valencia at crew lunch. Because of the hectic filming schedule, lunch was at 5:00 pm, so we arrived early to say hello to as many as we could before they had to eat and return to the set. Sara and the production office was first; our production coordinator also held that position at "JAG" for many years, and it's always fun to visit an old friend. She was surrounded by gift packages (haven't opened mine yet, from the producers and the cast) and slowly everyone started to drift in, back from local location. Tony! I yelled at Michael and laughed, "I've been on this show too long! The fans have a question I promised to ask: Does Gibbs really hit you...?" "Yes," he answered. "But I'll let you in on a secret: between Season One and Season Three, he doesn't hit as hard in rehearsals any more." Sean walked in, looking handsome and happy. We congratulated him on his recent wedding and asked if he'd heard from the foks. (Don and Viv are on a well-deserved vacation, as we both agreed.) Rehearsal for the next scene was called, so we decided to go to my favorite place: wardrobe. (Second favorite: Saks is first.) Walking across the lot, I heard my name called. It was Cote, who embraced me in a warm welcome. (I had only met her once before, in July when she filmed her first scene on the back lot of Universal Studios. How special of her to remember me.) We had to walk through the Squad Room stage, where the cast was rehearsing, to get to wardrobe. Mark, who had greeted us earlier, offered me his Director's Chair so I could watch through the open door. At a break, Suzanne, our Script Supervisor, was kind enough to lead us through the maze to the new digs for costumes, since we had to give up our old space. We said a hasty hello to Paul Dafelmair, our Costume Supervisor, who always answered my "JAG" questions, and always seems to be in a hurry (no wonder; lotsa people to clothe). We greeted Rachel, Women's Costume Supervisor, who answers the questions you all have re Ziva's outfits and Abby's t-shirts, and ooh'd and aah'd at all her feminine goodies (a wonderful carpet bag, a marvelous tapestry coat...gotta go back soon). We were interrupted by another greeting from Mark and I suddenly remembered I had brought a photo we had taken together during the first season's lunch. I asked him to sign it for me. I offered him a pen, but he insisted on using a "special" one. "With the disappearing ink?" I teased. He rummaged through a drawer and finally found it; he seemed to be writing a long time. When he handed it back, he had written "For Harriet, A pleasure working with you on this one -- and...." followed by a slightly naughty remark. I think I'll keep it to myself...for a while. Don't ask; I won't tell...yet. Nothing terrible, just terribly cute. I just don't trust the internet, you know how things get blown out of proportion. Stage 5 was beautifully decorated, with lighted Christmas trees, a colorful winter scene mural and a large red and gold chair for Santa, who came to greet the children who seemed to be everywhere. A group of merrily clothed choralers assembled to serenade us with appropriate Christmas carols. And the caterers, who cooked the special meal, as always outdid themselves. Everyone we knew from the past and present seemed to be there, stopping by our table as we shared what had happened since last we met, in some cases, since last year. Since we decided to leave before the rest of the cast was due, because of their late evening call times, we didn't get a chance to see everyone. But the good news is: we have a lot more episodes to film. Time goes too quickly, and it gets dark too soon during winter, so we left to confront the freeway once more, Rosemary who is always so kind to drive and myself, Everyone said we don't come to the set often enough, and with such warm welcomes, their words are like a siren song. I have one more promise to keep, so it won't be too long, and I'll be happy to let you know about it soon. Wishing all good things to you and your families in the coming New Year, Best, Harriet PS,Harriet Margulies是本劇的audience liaison。 -- 影集迷家族 http://tw.club.yahoo.com/clubs/TV_series/ 影集、旅行與其他 http://tg2u.blogspot.com/ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 60.248.65.98
