I honestly don't recall if I read this tidbit on usenet or NOT, so I'll post
it anyway, what the hell when theres no new TWEEKS to dissect.  Yesterday
(sunday) I saw Wilder's Sunset Boulevard for the first time, one of the
openers of the Billy Wilder festival at the Film Forum.  Wilder named an
off camera character "Gordon Cole", a worker at Paramount studios under
Cecil B Demille... maybe a real Paramount person?  In the film Cole calls
the movie stars house but she won't speak to him.  When she goes to see
De Mille she mentions that the calls from Gordon Cole prompted her to visit
the studio for the first time in decades.  De Mille calls Cole to ask just 
what the hell was going on.  Gordon Cole explains that he wanted to use
her old fashioned car as a movie prop for a period picture!  Not much of
a MacGuffin but an cute origin to a peculiar character.
