 VINTAGE EVERYDAY

we don’t often feature these guys but smitten with Melanie Griffiths in Johnathan Demme’s Something Wild and her iconic image we had to take a look

28 Amazing Photographs of Melanie Griffith on the Set of “Something Wild” (1986)

Melanie Griffith had a positive, collaborative experience on the set of Jonathan Demme’s Something Wild (1986), where she played the free-spirited Audrey “Lulu” Hankel opposite Jeff Daniels. Demme pictured her in the role from his first reading of the script, impressed by her bold performance in Brian De Palma’s Body Double (1984). She was the first actor offered the part.

Filming took place mainly from March to May 1986, largely in Tallahassee, Florida (and nearby areas such as Quincy and Havana for key scenes like the liquor store, motels, and reunion), with additional work in New York and New Jersey. The production operated on a relatively modest budget and emphasized spontaneity, Demme often avoided heavy rehearsals or storyboarding, letting actors explore scenes on location.

 

Griffith contributed creatively. She helped shape Lulu’s striking early look (the black Louise Brooks-style bob wig and layers of bold, eclectic jewelry sourced from a New York store called Craft Caravan). Demme later praised her as a hard worker full of ideas who took ownership of the character. She also had informal input on casting the role of her character’s volatile ex-husband: after a bad experience with another actor, she recommended Ray Liotta (a fellow student from her  acting class), which helped him land the part that launched his film career. 

 

She has spoken warmly about the production. In a 1986 interview, she called Demme “very special” for being supportive, he even visited her in the hospital while she was pregnant, and for “set[ting] his actors free,” helping her feel she could take bold chances. In a later interview she recalled the shoot as “great” and “fun,” noting that it was filmed mostly in sequence and that working with Demme and Daniels was excellent. The role itself was a creative high point for her and helped revive her career after earlier ups and downs.

 

 

 

Griffith’s magnetism on set translated into immense critical acclaim. The role earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress and directly paved the way for her iconic, Oscar-nominated starring role in 1988’s Working Girl.

Leo Kottke and Mike Gordon: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

Dedicated to the boys over at FLOPPY BOOT STOMP & VOODOO WAGON

 Bob Boilen says:

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space. Bob Boilen | October 21, 2020 

It's been 15 years since the legendary guitarist Leo Kottke put out a new recording, and it's no coincidence that his new music is with Phish bassist Mike Gordon. The two have a history of making albums together, but that hit a hiatus in 2005 with their Sixty Six Steps project. They're back with a 2020 album, Noon, and Phish drummer Jon Fishman joins the duo. And while they're miles apart for this Tiny Desk (home) concert, Leo at Creation Audio in Minneapolis and Mike and Jon at Tank Recording Studio in Burlington, Vt., there's plenty of humor and spirit traversing the wires. They begin with what fans of Leo Kottke fell in love with 50 years ago, the sound of his acoustic guitar fingerpicking. Mike Gordon punctuates the opening song "Flat Top," which at moments feels like a musical chase. Jon Fishman is a tasteful addition. Mike and Jon have played over 2,000 shows together, so there's telepathy there. Still, he also finds ways into the music that isn't merely rhythmic; he adds aural atmospherics with brushes in hand. There are some fun visual tricks but — musically speaking — not a moment of trickery. Just pure magic.
