And people were making baklava in there. So, I sent in one of my crew members and gave him some money and sent him in and he brought out one of these big restaurant-size trays of baklava.

Film Clip 'The Right Stuff' \u003cbr/\u003eTHE RIGHT STUFF 20th ANNIVERSARY REUNION\u003cbr/\u003eActors and Astronauts with the right stuff, convened in Hollywood for a reunion of sorts on Monday night. \u003cbr/\u003eThe occasion was the 20th Anniversary of the Academy Award winning film, \"The Right Stuff,\" which is being released on DVD.\u003cbr/\u003eThe film tells the story of the birth of the U. S. Space Program.  It won four academy awards and was nominated for best picture by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association the year it was released. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Monday night premiere marks the 20th anniversary of the film and the Warner Brothers Home Video release on Tuesday of a special edition 2-pack DVD release.\u003cbr/\u003eSam Shepard, Scott Glenn, Ed Harris, Barbara Hershey, Dennis Quaid and Jeff Goldblum head the ensemble cast of the film, which is based on Tom Wolfe's best-selling book that chronicled the years of the United States' race to conquer outer space.\u003cbr/\u003eThe premiere was a first for actor Ed Harris, who 20 years after portraying astronaut John Glenn in the film-finally sat down to watch the movie in its entirety.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The Right Stuff\" also devotes a fair amount of time to the story of the daredevil test pilots, who ultimately became the first Americans in space. \u003cbr/\u003eOne of the first and most famous test pilots made an appearance on the red carpet during Monday night's premiere.  \u003cbr/\u003eFormer General Chuck Yaeger was the first test pilot to break the sound barrier more than 50 years ago. \u003cbr/\u003eYaeger told reporters the film is true to the story of the first test pilots and NASA's early efforts. But he was quite critical of the progress made by the space agency over the last five decades.  The 80-year-old Yaeger says NASA has stalled.\u003cbr/\u003eAnother astronaut with the right stuff attended the reunion-premiere.  Colonel Gordon L. Cooper shared his perspective on space travel. Cooper says from outer space, there are no frontiers or borders, just one earth. \u003cbr/\u003eDirector Philip Kaufman reminisced about reuniting with cast and colleagues. He also talked about the inspiration he felt from Tom Wolfe's best-selling book and the spirit of \"The Right Stuff.\" \u003cbr/\u003eKaufman just completed work on a film starring Ashley Judd and Samuel L. Jackson. Other credits include \"Quills,\" and \"Rising Sun.\"\u003cbr/\u003eKaufman also heaped praise on famed cinematographer Caleb Deschanel.  He says some of the director's work in \"The Right Stuff\" became an imitated standard in movies about outer space. \u003cbr/\u003eDeschanel says one of his fondest memories of work on the four-time Academy Award winning film concern food.\u003cbr/\u003e'The Right Stuff' DVD has more than three hours of bonus material including three documentaries featuring the stars of the film, and three of the original \"Mercury Seven\" astronauts. \u003cbr/\u003eThe DVD set also includes a feature length documentary on astronaut John Glenn and 15 minutes of never-before-seen footage. The movie has been re-mastered with an all new wide-screen digital transfer, and will be available on Tuesday June 10, 2003. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Right Stuff\u003cbr/\u003eWarner
