O/T American Graffiti - Where are they now?

This link was featured today on AOL and I found it interesting regarding the whereabouts and doings of some of the members of the AG cast. I know I read on here recently where one of the actors who played a Pharaoh passed away. And I believe Candy Clark does some car shows. Anyway, enjoy.

Bo Hopkins is still the coolest dude. VERY friendly and down to earth guy when I met him a few years ago.

 

Bo was at this years GNRS in Pomona. Wayyyy kool! Norm (chopped50ford) hung out with Lemat over breakfast a couple of years ago. That he said was awesome. KNUX!

 

Candy Clark was just at the "Back to the Beach" show in Ventura,CA last Saturday.

 

Here's a shot of PM .. you make the call ...

 

aren't they at all the good guys shows? that cornball movie*****ed balls

 

My number one favorite movie. I remember watching it with my dad at the drive-in back in the early 70's. It was responsible for driving more than just a few people into the hot rodding world. It also launched a few movie careers and spin-off TV shows. Yep, super-cool!

 

That's probably because you're retarded and live in a van down by the river.

 

What's in a name? A reflection of opinions or the being?

American Graffiti was a great movie.Yeah,you can pick it apart and note some flaws,but it's a great movie for what it is-entertainment.

 

I see the cast at a lot of SoCal shows, very approachable.

AG was such a great movie. Aside from the cars, culture, and actual acting, the story itself is so well written. Combined with the score, it is one of the most well paced movies I've seen. By the end of the show, you "feel" as if you were there that night in the midst of it all, up all night.

 

I have been tryig to find this movie for a month now. Went to two Blockbuster's, and they tell me, we had it but it never came back. Went to the public library, and they didn't get theirs back either. I guess I'll try ebay. It is such a great movie

 

you've never heard of netflix? jesus christ!

 

His name says it all!

 

yep keep livin up to your name!

 

With all due respect, I suspect this may be because you were but an gleam in your daddy's eye back in '62, answering the movie's tagline -- "WHERE WERE YOU IN '62?"

 

That's some funny***** right there.

 

now thats*****ing funny.
Dave
maybe cause he also didnt understand it

 

I'll bet Amazon.com has it .. bunches of 'em ...

 

greatest movie ever

 

I remember seeing the movie when it first showed,,,man,,,It was great,,and it still is for us ol' gearheads that grew up in the late fiftys and early sixtys,,

Bo Hopkins was born in Greenville S.C.,,,so he was sort of a local made good in show biz,,,

The movie was a stepping stone for many unknowns at that time,,,Harrison Ford,was not a house hold name like Ron Howard on the Andy Griffith Show.

But both of their carrers have soared.

Richard Dreyfuss also became a hot ticket ,,,,everybody in that movie became a star,,,some brighter than others but none the less their popularity grew. HRP

 

Here's the deal comin' soon. Next month. For the post for the guy who is in Sacramento wondering what to do, well here it is ... !! I'm 2600 miles away and I'd absolutely love to come to that function ..

 

Forgot the website ... here it is ...

American Graffiti*****ed? You "do" your screen name proud

 

I think it was the short mean looking guy that said, "Who cut the cheese?". It was a few months ago. I saw him last year at "Back to the Beach".

 

Candy was at the Detroit Autorama this yr, all weeked signing autograph, flirting with the guys, A real sweet gal. Had this smile on her face everytime I walked by.

 

I got Paul Lematts autograph on a picture at a show a few years ago, my buddy asked him if he ever heard from Harrison Ford, and Paul shot right back.."Naw, he don't return my phone calls"

 

I was a teenager in the 60s, and loved Hot Rods. Saw the movie when it 1st came out and loved it then and still do. Attended the 75th anniversary of the 32 Ford at Dearborn last summer in my deuce. Ford motor co on Sat. night put on excellent tent buffet in the corp headquarters parking lot. then showed the AG movie with portable drive in screens. All the old 32s in the parking lot watching the movie on a perfect warm summer night was really cool.



Ago

 

That would have been Manual Padilla that died recently.
He did play the little guy that said "who cut the cheese".
He was a Pharaoh, see picture.

 

Paul Lemat (Milner) is scheduled to be at Sled Scene East this year (June 13-15, 2008) Candy Clark was there a couple years ago.
