“You Don’t Know Jack”

AL PACINO IS BEING FITTED FOR WIGS TO PLAY PHIL SPECTOR FOR HBO

Nobody plays eccentrics better than Al Pacino – as he reminded us in his HBO movie “You Don’t Know Jack” (about Dr Jack >Kervorkian) last year. Now he’s about to sink his teeth into the role of music mogul/murderer Phil Spector for HBO, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Spector’s life is a glut of success and excess – he produced hit records while keeping his wife Ronnie locked up as a prisoner and ended up in jail for shooting Lana Clarkson. Hollywood hairdressers will be competing to work on this film because the wide variety of Spector wigs are such an important part of his story development.

"You Don't Know Jack" Al Pacino Dr Jack Kevorkian

AL PACINO: THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY TO CROSS A STREET

Above, Al Pacino is lecturing his son Anton on the safe way to cross a street in Beverly Hills. Al’s HBO movie “You Don’t Know Jack,” which is the story of Dr Jack Kevorkian, the crusader for medically assisted suicide dubbed “Dr Death,” has been getting rave reviews. Apparently Pacino captured the Doctor’s voice and persona to perfection. Barry Levinson is the director and Variety called the movie “to die for.” Even Dr Kevorkian himself had tears in his eyes at the premier in New York. Jack Kevorkian happens to be a personal hero of ours. Don’t miss the premier on HBO, April 24.

We never thought about how SHORT Al Pacino is until we saw him standing next to a parking meter! His 8 year old son Anton will soon be catching up to him. Anton and his twin sister Olivia are Al’s kids with his former girlfriend Beverly D’Angelo of Entourage. Al recently finished filming “You Don’t Know Jack” – the life story of assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian for HBO, and we can’t wait to see it.

"You Don't Know Jack" Al Pacino Dr Jack Kevorkian

GUESS WHO’S STARRING AS DR JACK KEVORKIAN IN THE HBO MOVIE?

Dr Jack Kevorkian has long been one of our heroes, and we’re delighted to see that HBO is making a TV movie of his life starring Al Pacino, frivolously titled “You don’t know Jack.” (We love Al, but we hope he doesn’t ham it up too much.) Dr Kevorkian’s courageous and logical support for the right to die for terminally ill people earned him 8 undeserved years in prison. A glaring injustice. Hopefully this prestigious TV movie directed by Barry Levinson and costarring Susan Sarandon and John Goodman will open a few eyes on this battle to legalize doctor assisted suicide. We’re grateful that 81 year old Jack Kevorkian is still around to see this movie happen.
