BIG INTERVIEWS FROM THE CLASS OF THE 80'S
Catherine Mary Stewart ( The Last Starfighter )
If I can pick your memory for a second, can you think of any interesting behind the scenes moments during the filming of The Last Starfighter that you might want to share with your fans?
Shooting The Last Starfighter was a dream job, really. It was my first feature film in the U.S. and I was also working on Days of Our Lives at the same time. It was pretty cool holding down two jobs at once; shooting TLS at night and DOOL during the day. Nick Castle was a dream to work with. This was his baby and he was obviously enjoying the process on the set, so that made it enjoyable for everyone involved. All the other actors in the movie were lovely. There was not a diva amonst any of them. Lance was wonderful to work opposite. He took the process very seriously and brought the best out of me as did Nick Castle, the director. I suppose my favorite moments on the set involved the whole sequence of events where we were at the lake making out and Alex II gets shot and I realize he’s a Beta Unit. I love action so the whole leaping into the truck, speeding off, leaping out of the truck, exploding truck, “I love you Alex Rogan…” was super fun! Also, something I’ll never forget was when I got to meet Robert Preston. Remember, I didn’t have any scenes with him, so it was by chance that we were at the studio shooting pick-up scenes on the same day. He was leaving as I arrived. We were introduced and he took my hand and kissed it saying, “It is a pleasure to meet you Catherine”. I literally swooned! He truly seemed to glow. A real movie star! The Last Starfighter was his last movie, sadly.
