Juggling in Movies
Trumbo (2015)
[Jay Roach film; Bryan Cranston, Diane Lane, Helen Mirren]
In 1947, Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) was Hollywood's top screenwriter until he and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs. Trumbo used words and wit to win two Academy Awards and expose the absurdity and injustice under the blacklist, which entangled everyone from gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren) to John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger.
Diane Lane took juggling lessons to impress the director to get the
role of Cleo Trumbo, Dalton's wife. Early in the movie, at a backyard
picnic, Lane
juggles 3 drinking glasses
to entertain her guests.
