“The first time Polly Platt met Jim Brooks to discuss Terms of Endearment (1983), she was distinctly unimpressed. “I was infuriated that he was that late,” she recalls. “Fifteen minutes or half an hour, who cares, but to be a whole hour late.” She waited for him at Gladstone’s, a tacky tourist joint on the Pacific Coast Highway. “I just remember I didn’t like him ... I just didn’t like his turn of phrase ... I didn’t like the way he referred to the people. I didn’t like the people he was talking about working with.” FilmmakingFilmmakersFilmmaking Quotes1980s HollywoodWoman In Business Book:Is That a Gun in Your Pocket?: The Truth About Female Power in Hollywood Source: Is That a Gun in Your Pocket?: The Truth About Female Power in Hollywood
