Filming in the heart of Klan Country, here’s Faye Dunaway, John Philip Law, Diahann Carroll, Me, Jane Fonda and Michael Caine on a press junket in New Orleans- up from location in Baton Rouge - on the Otto Preminger movie “Hurry Sundown” (circa 1967). Later that day we were all refused service at one of the (still) most famous New Orlean’s eateries, “Brennan’s”, stopped at the front door by a doorman who screamed, “We don’t serve colored people. Dont chall understan English? The shoot was filled with many violent racist confrontations from beginning to end, bullets and bombs being a prominent part of it.
