“You know you’ve made it when they’re closing freeways for you.”
So much hidden tragedy within a great man.
So sad that Catherine O’Hara deteriorated so fast after this.

The whole time I kept thinking, “what would he be like today?”, and just get sad. Such an inspiring guy to be both an actor and just a good person. Makes me want to binge his filmography.
