Our Celebrity Neighbors

Many of you know that our house is on a somewhat secluded street in Dedham, MA and that just down the hill from one side of our house is a large parking lot for the Registry of Deeds building.  Well, for a couple of days and nights in mid-July, Robert Downing Jr. and Dax Shepard parked their trailers in "our" parking lot while filming scenes for their upcoming movie, The Judge, across the street from our home at the Dedham courthouse and registry building.  We thought about knocking on their trailer doors and inviting them for coffee, but instead Olli and the kids walked to the end of our street to "spy" on the action and take a few photos.

Here are a few for your perusal:

Here is Robert Downing Jr. looking very debonaire as he begins to walk away from the crowd that had gathered

Blowing a kiss to the crowd of bystanders

Getting his hair re-coiffed

Getting some last minute direction from the director before the next scene

Apparently, they were filming a scene where they both vomit before heading into the courthouse.  If such things make you feel squeamish, then you may want to avert your eyes from the following photos.

One last powdering of the nose just before drinking, what I assume is the substance that they proceed to throw up in the next photo

Dax is the first to let it all out, while Robert Downing Jr. stoicly consoles him

Then Robert is overcome as well

Proceeding up the stairs into the courthouse as if nothing out of the ordinary had just occurred

Cut and Print. That's a wrap folks!
