And he survived, but I haven't heard just how he survived. Blood all over the floor as you can imagine. My wife still tells horror stories about the dismal and dangerous working conditions on those soundstages. The chemicals, mainly. And it seems I'm always hearing about a scenic artist dying of some kind of rare cancer. <BR/><BR/>I was in TV, but in news and I never ran into those kinds of conditions except out in the field during a riot or a fire or something. <BR/><BR/>Seems to me CALOSHA is way too uninvolved in enforcement of working conditions in film and TV. It should be the subject of some major investigative journalism. The studios get away with excessive cost cutting to improve the bottom line in at the expense of the worker bees.NEWSGUYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985481708249946300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9462117.post-1158326759513323952006-09-15T06:25:00.000-07:002006-09-15T06:25:00.000-07:00God I love Banksy.
