A Bonneville Bash in North Carolina!

In honor of the Red Hat Society’s 10th Birthday, a Newton chapter put together a true celebration of fun, friendship, and BONNEVILLE! The movie wasn’t playing in their town, but that didn’t stop them – they got their local theater to arrange a special screening! And what a celebration it was - they got 80 members from other local chapters to participate, gave out door prizes, and presented each attending queen with a rose!

Check out this great picture of Bonneville fans from Newton, North Carolina:

Jessica Lange speaks at Sarah Lawrence

Congratulations to BONNEVILLE star Jessica Lange, her daughter Hannah, and all 2008 graduates!

Ms. Lange delivered an inspiring commencement address to Sarah Lawrence College's Class of 2008, urging the new graduates to "commit yourselves to the pursuit of peace — to the practice of tolerance and compassion. And be good stewards to our precious Earth. I wish you all the courage to have an adventurer's heart and a life lived in the moment."

In addition, Lange shared her own fascinating story, explaining:

"I graduated from high school in a worn-out little mill town in Northern Minnesota. Art was going to be my way out. I went to the University on a scholarship and entered the fine arts program. I imagined I would study — get my B.F.A., go on to get an M.F.A. Devote my life to painting. Then the second quarter of my freshman year the drawing class I wanted was filled. At the last minute I signed up for a photography class. My photography instructor introduced me to his friends, young photographers. They were leaving for Spain to make a documentary about flamenco Gypsies in Andalusia. And they asked me, did I want to come along? Yes, I said.

We lived in Europe for that year. When we returned to the States, we settled in New York. The early SoHo days. They had a friend they introduced me to—a modern dancer from the Merce Cunningham Company—who was starting an experimental theater company. She asked me if I wanted to dance with them. I said yes.

A man who had worked with the great mime master, Etienne Decroux, was in New York and came to give us classes. I fell in love with mime and when I learned Decroux still lived and taught in Paris, I decided to go study with him. With $100 in my pocket, I went to look for this old man. I lived in Paris for the next three years taking classes.

I felt I had finally settled in. I never imagined leaving Paris. At the school, I met some actors from New York. On a return visit to the States I ran into one of them. He asked if I wanted to come along to one of his acting classes to see what it was all about. "Yeah, yeah, why not?" I wasn't doing anything. I discovered an immediate passion for acting. It seemed to bring everything together for me. I decided to stay and study.

Suddenly, my life was in New York, working as a waitress and taking acting classes. I imagined it would be a long and steady process. I'd start auditioning, first for showcase theaters, then Off-Off-Broadway—work my way up until, finally, someday, maybe Broadway.

Then, one day, I was asked if I wanted to audition for a film. I would have to fly to Hollywood to do a screen test. It was like something out of an old movie. I didn't want to do film—my life was supposed to be in the theater. But it was winter in New York, I was broke, and my sister was sailing up the coast from Mexico and would be in California—I wanted to go see her. So I said, "yeah, why not? I've got nothing to lose."

They picked me up from my fifth floor walk-up in the Village, flew me to Los Angeles, and took me to MGM to do a screen test. I did it and they gave me the part. And so began a new and totally unexpected chapter in my life.

So, I guess the point I want to make is this—there was no way I could have ever anticipated or planned the twists and turns my life took in those six short years. Sometimes, you just have to let life take you on its glorious journey. And the best time to do it is now—when you're young and full of curiosity and have no fear. Don't constrain yourself with expectations of success. Success will be a by-product of the life you lead. All success is individual, and sometimes, as in my case, completely accidental."

BONNEVILLE FANS SPEAK

Today we wanted to share the comments of a fan from Wisconsin! And if, like Patti, you can’t wait to own the DVD, go ahead and pre-order “Bonneville” today! Get ready to enjoy hilarious bloopers, deleted scenes, two alternate endings and a great “Behind the Scenes” Making-Of Featurette!

Patti Ingli of Ellsworth, Wisconsin writes:

I was so excited to see a film that was just "enjoyable", no violence, no foul language, sex, etc. I especially enjoyed each of the actors and actresses - so talented and they have all been among my favorites for many years.

I truly enjoyed the camaraderie these three women shared. I am awaiting its release on DVD so that I can share it with those who haven't had the opportunity to see it and so that I can watch it again and again. This was one of the most relaxing, truly enjoyable films I have seen in many years!”

BONNEVILLE FANS SPEAK

We're excited to share the comments of a fan who saw Bonneville and clearly found some very special inspiration in it:

"Fifteen of my chapterettes, the Red Hat Dizzy Chicks of Anaheim, attended the movie and enjoyed it tremendously. It touched each of us in one way or another since the majority of us have lost a loved one and had friendships to get us through.

I have kept my husband's ashes at home in a beautiful urn and am now contemplating taking a road trip in my Solara convertible across country with a couple of friends to spread his ashes in some of his favorite spots. I know we would have a trip of a lifetime and would hope we could find a "trucker" as cute as Tom Skerrit!"

BONNEVILLE FANS SPEAK

Today we'd like to share some great comments from a fan who saw the movie in Pennsylvania:

"First, the writing. Amazed me that men wrote, produced and directed this movie that so accurately depicts women. The film got it right. The characters are people we know and cherish and support. They enjoy the funny little things in life, like the vibrating bed! The film stayed on track with strong, diverse, and funny women.

Second, the cinematography. I took part of this road trip many years ago. Thank you for the widescreen memories. The shot of Arvilla on the hilltop is a piece of art.

Third, the score. Beautifully accented the emotion and action without overwhelming the dialogue.

Overall, this is a film that celebrates all that's important in life. Commitment, friendship, and promises that outweigh monetary considerations. I hope you make more movies about these core values, but in the meantime let's live them!"

-Maureen Purcell, Dallas PA
