From Ginzburg I learned that Benjamin Franklin had written a mock-scientific essay on the technique of farting, in which he wryly proposed giving the stinky gas a sweet fragrance through the ingestion of, I think, cloves...
...really cool to be working that early when there really was nobody else. We had the first outlines, came up with the first conceptual ideas, and so I was able to see it from the very, very beginning,” she says. Gary is also the daughter of Tom Wopat, who played the character of Luke Duke on the popular ’80s television show “The Dukes of Hazzard.” As she is not unionized, Gary does not do any official set design. Instead, she helps develop an overall aesthetic...
