When Pat was on the set, we all know he had his director's chair. Sometimes it said Patrick Blymyer on the back, sometimes it said Rip Torn or The New Rip Torn.It always had a pocket for very important documents - could be the callsheet, could be the Enquirer, could be fruit or snacks. At one point I gave him a Hand which he screwed onto the chair that could hold a drink. This particular picture he seems to be prepared for everything, rain, dark, confederates, etc.
Can you figure out what some of those other things are on his chair? I've been trying .

Is that a bobby helmet he's wearing? where was he? what show was this from?! :)
ReplyDeleteI tellya, for a guy with that much showman in him, how did he manage to do his job so well?
ReplyDeleteWhat a picture?
That must have been taken after I first met him. The chair I saw when I first met him had that rheostat attached to it, tagged in with about three drink holders. He would say he could tune the gennie with it. Probably a load of crap. But I fell for it!! He had drink holders but this model in the picture you sent is the deluxe line compared to what he had on the projects I did with him. Super Deluxe.
He had good legs. Needed 'em. Had a lotta ground to cover. And that double mix face, one side so different and so cagey and looking right through you and the other saying, "what the f...?"
Shoot.
Really missing him.
Thanks, Xoch,
