Actor Josh Lucas
I was watching "Evening Magazine" on KING-TV last night, and they were interviewing the stars of the new TV show, "The Mysteries of Laura." I have been a fan of Debra Messing before, but I didn't recall the name of Josh Lucas. It turns out he starred opposite Reese Witherspoon in "Sweet Home Alabama." I loved that movie. The reason they were being interviewed from Seattle for "Evening Magazine" was because it turns out Josh Lucas is from Gig Harbor!
OMG (that would be 'gosh'), j lives in Gig Harbor! I bet she never knew about this 'connection.' I knew full well when we moved to Chesapeake, VA that it was the hometown of "American Idol" alum, Chris Richardson, not that I ever saw him. And I never saw Felicia Barton, who competed while I lived there. She is now a prolific songwriter in L.A. But Josh Lucas is a much bigger deal, and I thought j should know that he grew up in her town.
Oh, I just thought of something else. A boy from my junior-senior high school, Michael Crich, was in the Sidney Poitier/Anne Bancroft/Telly Savalas movie, "The Slender Thread," about the Seattle Crisis Clinic. I will never forget his one line: "Lady, hey lady!" He was just a nameless guy on the beach at Seattle's Golden Gardens, and Anne Bancroft's character was walking straight out into Puget Sound, trying to commit suicide. As far as I know, Michael didn't get any movie deals beyond that.
And I don't think Josh Lucas will be j's 'Jimi Hendrix Story.'
