TOM HANKS
The actor, on Twitter, channeling his character from A League of Their Own
to describe his feelings about being quarantined in Australia with wife Rita Wilson
after both tested positive for COVID-19. “We are taking it one-day-at-a-time.”(starring Annette O’Toole, Margo
Martindale, June Squibb, Sophie
Lowe and Morgan Saylor) but
instead has moved the venue to a
more intimate space — attendees’
living rooms. In lieu of a public
gathering, the studio is sending
dinner for two (menu by Annie
Campbell Catering, linens by
Heather Taylor Home, dessert
from Valerie Confections) to the
cast and crew and other industry
folk so they can party on as they
stream the Prime film during
a delayed March 27 home event
(the film began streaming March
20). A source at Amazon tells
THR that all the vendors hired for
the original live premiere were
retained for the home version, so
nobody lost any income because
of the coronavirus.Norman Lloyd, Surviving
His Second Global Epidemic
THR checked in with probably
the one person in Hollywood who
was alive during the last great
global epidemic — the Spanish
flu — to see how 105-year-old
Norman Lloyd is holding up.
“Like everyone else, I’m captive in
my own house,” the star of Alfred
Hitchcock’s Saboteur (and NBC’s
St. Elsewhere) said over the phone.
“But there’s nothing I need at the
moment.” Lloyd, who was 4 years
old (and in New Jersey) when the
1918 pandemic hit, now lives in
Beverly Hills with a full-time
caretaker. — SCOTT FEINBERGCOMPILED BY MICHAEL O’CONNELLThe Actors Fund
