Ryan’s Hollywood Memories
Oklahoma boy Ryan Hammons began having nightmares at age 4, crying “Action!” and begging to “go home to Hollywood.” He described living in a house with a swimming pool and “stairs stretching across the sky.” Ryan identified specific film sets and described 1930s camera equipment. He knew technical filmmaking terminology no 4-year-old should know and mentioned dancing with people who “took their clothes off” in New York.
