I was wrapping on a big show out there somewhere, and a LA-based co-worker said, “I just want to go to a small town by the beach and chill out.” My response, “Yep, I’m just going to go home.”
Coat-n-tie photos of DeLaurentiis simply don’t capture the vigor that’s apparent when he greets you at the beachhouse in red shorts and a white T-shirt that reading, “Life’s Too Short Not to be Italian.”
It’s great in one place simultaneously to get the big, glamorous movie business with the civility and personal connectedness of living in a quaint, small town.
