Charlotte's Web

 

Charlotte's Web

 

 

Charlotte the barn spider was very cool when I bumped into her at a Starbucks in North Hollywood about six months ago. Still pretty and attractive, her eyes, all eight of them, captivated my soul. I almost stepped on her twice sad to say. But she was cool about it.. she teaches a method acting class at some spot I forgot where. I really didn't give a shit. I asked her was she still auditioning and acting and whatnot, she said no. After raising about thousand kids throughout the years, and loosing about nine hundred of them, she doesn't have the hunger nor the drive anymore.. Sad indeed.

Of course I had to ask about the filming of  "Charlotte's Web" and what was it like working with Wilbur the pig. She said he's very kind, professional, and very talented on the set but off-camera she was repulsed as he would literally roll around in his own shit and would eat out of the trash can dumpsters constantly. While she was in makeup he would have to get hosed down with soap and water before every scene. She said they even had to hose down the inside of his mouth because his breath smelled like a septic tank. But she still said she wouldn't exchange the experience for nothing in the world. We need more people, I mean spiders, like Charlotte. God bless her soul...
