As I sit today on my sofa, sick with a cold, it made me think about a photo shoot I once did. It was on a Sunday during the crazy gallery season in the middle of summer. We were shooting a publicity and Advertising gallery at Smashbox Studios in Hollywood. The day was perfect, all the actors were on time, the sets were amazing, we were taking fantastic photos….it was a really GREAT day….and THEN ….it happened…I bit into a piece of bread (I know …Carbs) and my tooth broke off…..YEAH…..my tooth broke off. There I was looking like an ETT-o-lantern… oh this is NOT a good thing. What am I going to do….the pain was excruciating but even worse…I looked HORRIBLE! I quickly called my dentist (who by the way was surfing in Malibu) told him of my situation and he said he’d meet me at the dentist office in 45 minutes….HOW PERFECT IS THIS. I called lunch, told my PA what had happened and that I’d be back before lunch was over….nobody would even know….IT’S PERFECT! I quickly drove to the valley (15 minutes away for those who are not familiar with Los Angeles) in record timing, my dentist and I arrived at the same time, I quickly sit in the chair and within 30 minutes my tooth was back in my mouth and I was heading back to Smashbox Studios. I arrive just in time to put the actors back through the works to finish the day......SUCCESS! Nobody was the wiser and the SHOW WENT ON….well, kind of, I forgot to mention to my PA that he should NOT TELL everyone that my tooth fell out of my mouth..…
Until next time….
