Youth News for February 4, 2011
It happened one night at the beginning of shooting.Denzel Washington, Matthew Broderick, Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes and Andre Braugher were discussing the film that was to unfold before them.Kennedy talked about Hollywood and how he developed a friendship with director Ron Howard while working on the 1986 film “Gung Ho.” Kennedy played the character Junior in that movie. He knew he was taking a chance. The director could mistake Kennedy’s interpretation as mocking the material.The troops find success in a South Carolina skirmish, but many of them, including Shaw, are killed at a battle at Fort Wagner. And as Kennedy reminisced about his time spent on that film, he was sure to add how the cast and crew heeded Washington’s words.They didn’t mess it up.
