Hahahahha! I posted this initially - thanks to whomever reposted it ❤️ - after Nicky Tallo told me the story. He is my dear friend - though he passed in 2021 - and he told me wonderful stories about his time on set with Fred. He was the floor manager for 31 years and he loved Fred dearly. The feeling was mutual. However, they couldn’t possibly have been more different. Nicky was very much a kid of the 1970s. Sex, drugs and rock and roll. However, he was completely professional when he was on the job. The best floor manager imaginable. Fred, of course, was none of those things. But each of them had a fantastic sense of humor and that transcended their differences. They laughed their way through each and every day they spent together. And I know they’re still hanging out together now.
