Cool Rocking Angel,

I had to laugh at the "I don't do nude scenes" reference.. We
discussed that, here, a long time ago, much to DKelly's chagrin, I
imagine, lol! Keitel has his own way of thinking, as is his right. I
think it is a hair-splitting situation. He truly doesn't believe he
has done nude scenes. It is the CHARACTER who was nude. I just know
that I have enjoyed every nude scene he "HASN'T" done. I also believe
he is a very interesting man. He is a brilliant method actor and man.
A while back, I got the chance to talk to a director who worked with
him and he had nothing but praise for him as an actor and person.

As we used to say, "Remember the King"! (See "Finding Graceland". It
is a treat!)

Sincerely,
Chai

P.S. Hi DKelly!
