The one and only Kris Kristofferson
|
|
The list of movies, music, songs and life time creations of this Icon is beyond words. His influence on the entertainment itself is
historic in magnitude...he is a living legend and his music and name and movies are part of the American culture. I have been
honored to know Kris, produce some projects with him and the night I took these pictures he let me interview him for my
documentary on Jimmie Rodgers...read the following in interview that came out on his 70th birthday...
AP: How did you get into acting? Was that something you pursued?
Kristofferson: It just happened that my first professional gig was at the Troubadour in L.A. opening for Linda Rondstadt. Robert Hillburn
(Los Angeles Times music critic) wrote a fantastic review and the concert was held over for a week. There were a bunch of movie people
coming in there, and I started getting film offers with no experience. Of course, I had no experience performing either (laughs).
