My Father and Mother were both employed at Warm Springs State Hospital (Dad as a plumber, Mom was an Aide) I grew up in Warm Springs as housing was provided for state employees. One of my first jobs was for the movie company, my job was to move crates and boxes of clothes up into one of the old buildings, unpack all the clothes and hang them on the clothes racks I assembled. I started the day with my brother, but by noon he had to go home as he was exhausted. I finished the day out around 5PM and was paid $5.00, so yeah they must have been on a tight budget as they ripped me off pretty good!
All the state employees and kids were trying to get a taste of the big movie people! Some of the local kids got full time positions, I knew one other that actually was given the Police Car after they were done filming... it didn't run of course, they actually had to tow it when they filmed it in the movie. The same kid that got given the police car, his father got a part in the movie, he was hired to act as one of the guards and had to join the actors union as he got to say a line, something about what kind of pie he wanted or something like that...
Needless to say, depending on what your parents did at the hospital, determined if you got to work or not... I went back to my lawn mowing jobs, they paid better anyways!
