Hollywood Comes to DC

And, even the best of us sometimes go a little wacky around real live movie stars. :-)

I work very close to the Navy Memorial, so I was able to spend about 1/2 an hour today watching as Angelina Jolie and Liev Schreiber - who are both ridiculously attractive in person, and he's super-tall and she's super-tiny - film a scene where they were running onto the escalator at the Archives/Navy Memorial metro stop.

Sadly my camera phone can't zoom, so you can't make out much here -- but if you look just to the left of that umbrella, you can see Liev (in a greenish overcoat)sitting in a chair with his back to the camera. Angelina is sitting to his right, but she's leaning forward so you can't see much other than the black backpack she's wearing, with a tan coat and black knit cap.

This made for a nice little lunch break for all of us who are used to the concept of "DC famous" - as in, "hey, I was in line next to Justice X" or "I shared an elevator with the Secretary of Y" or "I was at a party with Senator So-and-So" etc. - to get a little thrill from a taste of Hollywood.
