At the time, she was a student at UCLA and needed an actor for her lead role. Cassavetes decided to do a favor for her because Ben Gazzara&#8217;s daughter was producing the film. So he gave the filmmaker 24 hours of his time and they made this charming and excellent short film about a recording industry guy getting a really good haircut. It&#8217;s a great film because it doesn&#8217;t try hard. It just watches a man get happy because of where he is and who he is talking to.<\/p>\n<p>What a magnificent thing for an artist to do &#8211; to share his time helping a student make a film.
