Relative newborn
Jared Patrick Scott, born November 19th, 2000 CE,
son to Tricia and
Alan Michael Scott
and nephew to myself
(Badger),
had a go-see for a feature film and met with its well known director.
I received from my brother Alan the photo here with the following email announcement:

According to
upcomingmovies.com,
the film is based upon the true story of Beverly Donofrio, as can be found in her 1990 memoir of the full title, Riding in Cars With Boys: Confessions of a Bad Girl Who Makes Good.
The film's premise: Starting in the 1960's, spanning a 20-year period from 15 to 35, this is the story of a woman (Barrymore) who as a teenager has a son (Adam Garcia), got married, got divorced, and eventually pulled herself out of welfare and into college, studying to be a writer.
(Brittany Murphy plays her best friend, who also had a child as a teenager; Steve Zahn plays Drew's drug-addicted husband; Lorraine Bracco plays Drew's mother, James Woods plays her father).

Geoff--
Just got a call from Alan on the set of "Riding in Cars with Boys" --
he wants you to know that Jared will NOT be Drew Barrymore's baby in the movie --
he will be a baby named "Walker."
I think that was the name he gave.
Love, mom
According to mother Tricia during a recent online chat:
Well, he got to be his cute li'l self, obviously.
Then he was wheeled in a hospital bassinet (we have pictures) then a "nurse" handed him to his mom.
You'll know it's him because the actress really did not know how to hold a newborn, and was really uncomfortable (the mom and nurse were extras).
Did Alan tell you that they recorded Jared's voice after the shooting was finished?
Would you think he and the other the babies would get their names in the credits as "the babies?"
Anyway, that was Jared's first gig.
btw, his name was Baby Walker, as in the lyrics from Tommy, "It's a boy, Mrs. Walker, it's a boy."
