We dragged her out to [the desert in] Palmdale where it was dusty and awful.
She did it with a smile on her face.
Take after take, she was fabulous, so we are very lucky.

(Theres that word again.)
While Brinkley brushes it off as no big deal Ive really enjoyed this week, its great fun.
Two of the kids are going to college 15 minutes away, but thats still too much for Beverly.

We know it wont be, but thats what Bevs position is.
Its those last three that make another cameo in the premiere all the more special.
We haveAnthony Michael Hall, who I just …

I feel like I keep looking at him and hes catching me looking at him, McLendon-Covey gushes.
I cant believe hes here.
Hes a legend to me.

Its a real privilege and a pleasure.
I came here to have some fun, he says.
And hes doing that in the form of a park security guard.
He really did; he enjoyed it.
So its all great how it all comes together.
So 30, 40, however many years later, its gone full circle, Hall explains.
And we shot a different ending….
When we did the original film, we actually didnt get into the park….
They have to actually get in!
So here we are.

You know who suffers?
), there are a couple scenes they couldntnotreplicate.
And we did just as big.
And, of course, theres the Christie Brinkley of it all.
And that worked out especially well for Troy Gentile, who plays middle Goldberg child Barry.
I remember watching the movie growing up and being like, Dad, whos that beautiful woman?
[My dad said,] Shes before your time….And now shesofour time.
That flashes in your mind when youre filming those scenes and its so cool.
Its like, literally my job is what I used to see on TV.
Theyre bigger troopers than I ever could have imagined.
The people I work with are big, big troopers except maybe Troy, Garlin jokes.
Hes never like this, but he lost his temper once in the desert, and we laughed.
It wasnt stressful at all…and he calmed down in 10 seconds.
We were hoping it would happen!
The heatwilldo that to a person, after all.
Or maybe he was just excited to get another glimpse of that red Ferrari.
