9 July 1999. The baptism scene was filmed at Alligator Lake, near Vicksburg.
It was HOT, so we didn't mind getting into the water. |
10 July 1999. The banquet scene was filmed at the old St Francis Xavier
auditorium (now the Southern Cultural Heritage Center) in Vicksburg. |
|
12 July 1999. We had Sunday off, then continued the banquet scene at the
old St Francis Xavier auditorium. Thankfully, the production staff provided
temporary air conditioning. |
13 July 1999. This was the last day of filming for the banquet scene.
The Miss Mississippi pageant was also going on this week, so downtown
Vicksburg was a busy place. |
|
14 July 1999. This was the first day of filming of the election rally
scene at the town square in Canton, Mississippi. It rained, so we went
through hair & make-up, then waited. The rain didn't stop, so we were sent
home at lunch time. |
15 July 1999. This was the second day of filming of the election rally
scene in Canton. It was hot, sunny weather and we had a full day of filming.
We got to hear George Clooney's daughters tell him that he was "nothin' but
a grease spot on the L&N" and that their Momma's new suitor was "bonified"! |
