    I spent the first 30 years of my life in Pflugerville, TX. My mom graduated from the high school. So did my husband (I was homeschooled in HS). My great aunt taught in the one-room schoolhouse. I know that area better than I know where I live now. I was 10 years old when What’s Eating Gilbert Grape was filmed. We lived so close that we saw the smoke from the house fire and drove over to make sure it wasn’t anyone we knew in trouble. We got there and the road was blocked off and we quickly realized it was a movie set. We sat and watched it burn. I remember being sad that they were burning an old house I was used to passing by. Now, again, I was only 10, so my memory could be mixed up about if it actually burned all the way to the ground, but I’m almost 100% sure it did and can check with my mom (who drove us there) to confirm. Also, just behind the woods I ran around in was The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. I regularly ate BBQ and had family get-togethers at Cele Store where several movies filmed scenes. I didn’t realize as a child that the very fields I grew up in were so scenic that Hollywood traveled there even for short shots. It just was home to me. I miss it. Anyway, thanks for the walk down memory lane!! ❤ (For reference, the house was on Hodde Lane and I lived on Weiss, just over a hill. Nothing looks the same there anymore. It used to be nothing but fields and farmhouses. But the roads are still there to reference. 😊 My family only just moved from my childhood home a few years ago as everything grew up around them.)

    This is where we get to meet a young yet polished actor Leonardo DiCaprio. His portrayal of a challenged, sweet loving younger brother to that of a angst ridden older brother played by an amazing young Johnny Depp was a truly precious story of a family learning to deal and adapt to life, while becoming dependent on eachothers love. And moving forward with the beautiful gentle stranger coming into town " Becky " played by Juliet Lewis. Immediately you are drawn into this families world. A MUST SEE. Love you Mama Grape RIP💐🍇🏡

      @@SCOTTONTAPE Thank you so very much. The way I write is bringing myself back to the way I felt personally at that particular time. Remembering even the smallest line or actual piece of scenery tying the character to the vulnerability or visualization of connection to the way a actor/ actress owns their part/ character. Not being able to identify they are acting at all it just flows very easily. A tuff job. But I believe if the actor really, genuinely loves the craft, it is not a career but a part of their soul. 🌹🎭💞

    Fun Fact: If you look directly South-East of the driveway where the Grapes family house was, you'll see 2 barns and a house in a distance about a mile away, that is the house where they filmed Secondhand Lions and the Farm scene in Transformers 4. Literally 1 mile southeast from the Grape home, you can see it in most shots, even walk to it from their house across the fields.
