My La La Land moment of the day

An actress in her 30s who currently is unknown to all but those who really know the New York theatre scene, but who I would bet money will be famous nationwide a year from now when this film comes out (and will be getting awards buzz), at the end of a take started sobbing, and as hair and makeup rushed in to do touch-ups, she shouted at the top of her lungs through her happy tears, "Dreams DO come true!"

Indeed.

The day also included me standing up on a catwalk leaning over the railing watching a scene shoot below and a crew member down below making eye contact with me, crooking his finger in a "come here" gesture, and when I got downstairs giving me a featured bit, after which he told me, "They got stunning footage of you.  STUNNING."  I was later informed this footage involved a "40-foot-tall closeup." 

So mini-dreams come true too.  I'm pretty sure it's a magical set.
