Bridges cont’d from pg 8
a very famous Texas
Ranger, Joaquin Jack-
son, on the set with us.
He died recently, but he
was very instrumental,
for me anyway, in get-
ting my character right.
KW: Harriet Paku-
la-Teweles says: I loved
you in “True Grit.” Is
there another remake
you’d like to star in?
JB:
Nothing
real-
ly comes to mind, al-
though I understand
they’re doing a remake
of “Starman.” I know
this doesn’t exactly an-
swer your question but
whenever I see Karen
Allen, who was with me
in the original, we of-
ten ask, “Gee, why don’t
they make a sequel to
Starman?” Ater all, she
was impregnated by
the alien guy... He’s giv-
en her the silver ball...
There’s a story there!
But I guess they’re go-
ing ahead with a remake
instead. That doesn’t an-
swer your question. As
a matter of fact, when
the Coen Brothers came
to me with “True Grit,” I
went “Why do you want
to remake that? It’s al-
ready a famous movie?”
They asked me, “Well,
have you read the novel
by Charles Portis?” So,
I checked out the book,
which read like the Coen
Brothers’ script. And
then I understood what
they were up to.
KW: Even though
you’ve had so many
great roles, whenever
I told someone I was
going to interview, in-
variably the response
would be, “The Dude!
The Dude! The Dude!”
a reference to another
Coen Brothers ilm, “The
Big Lebowski.” Do you
also get more of a fan
response about that ilm
than any other?
JB: Oh, absolutely! I
just signed a couple of
bowling pins moments
ago. That sort of thing
happens to me just
about every day when
I’m out and about. It’s
great! I don’t feel any
resentment about it.
“The Big Lebowski” is a
real masterpiece, as far
as I’m concerned. I sup-
pose I’m a bit biased be-
cause I’m in it. But even
if I weren’t, I’d still love
that movie, it’s so well
done.
KW: Yeah, my son
always says it’s his fa-
vorite movie of all time.
Which of your roles are
you fondest of?
JB: It’s like that corny
thing actors say about
how it’s like being asked
to pick their favorite
kid. Each one is such a
diferent experience.
KW: Is there one that
comes to mind?
JB: “Lebowski” is cer-
tainly up there. I couldn’t
pick one favorite, but I
loved working with my
brother [Beau] and my
father [Lloyd] whenev-
er that happened. I had
a wonderful experience
making “The Fabulous
Baker Boys,” which I felt
was a great movie, too.
And I got to work with
my dad in “Tucker” and
in “Blown Away,” which
were also wonderful ex-
periences. Sometimes,
it’s hard for me to sep-
arate the experience
from the inal product.
KW: What was a ilm
you really enjoyed mak-
ing that might not have
enjoyed box-oice suc-
cess?
JB: “The Moguls” was
an obscure movie I had
such a good time on. It’s
also called “The Ama-
teurs.” It had a great cast
and a wonderful direc-
tor [Michael Traeger],
and we had so much
fun. It was about the
citizens of a small town
getting together to make
a porno movie. I think
it came out great., but
it fell apart because the
distributor turned out
to be a crook, so it nev-
er got released. Hardly
anybody saw it, but you
could probably ind it
somewhere.
KW: Watching your
dad on TV in “Sea Hunt,”
was a big part of my
childhood. was the show
a big part of yours, too?
JB: Yeah, unlike a lot of
people in Hollywood, he
loved showbiz so much
he encouraged his kids
to go into it. If you were
a “Sea Hunt” fan, then
you probably saw me on
the show as a little kid.
He was like, “Hey Jef,
why don’t you come to
work with your old man.
You get to skip school.”
KW: Ling-Ju Yen asks:
What is your earliest
childhood memory?
JB: Sitting in my liv-
ing room and seeing my
mother open the front
door. She was wearing a
mink stole but had just
cut of all of her long
beautiful hair. She had
a very short kind of bob.
It just freaked me out. I
just ran and locked my-
self in the bathroom. I
must have been about 3
or 4.

Turkey makes first
major foray into Syria
with assault on IS
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Tur-
key on Wednesday launched its
irst major ground assault into
Syria since the country’s civil
war began, sending in tanks and
special forces backed by U.S. air-
strikes to help Syrian rebels re-
take a border town from Islamic
State militants.
The surprise incursion to cap-
ture the town of Jarablus was a
dramatic escalation of Turkey’s
role in Syria’s war. But its objec-
tive went beyond ighting extrem-
ists. Turkey is also aiming to con-
tain expansion by Syria’s Kurds,
who are also backed by the Unit-
ed States and have used the ight
against IS and the chaos of the
civil war to seize nearly the entire
stretch of the border with Turkey
in northern Syria.
That raises the potential for
explosive frictions between two
American allies. U.S. Vice Presi-
dent Joe Biden lew into Ankara
hours ater the ofensive, and he
backed Turkey with a stern warn-
ing to the Kurds to stay east of the
Euphrates River, which crosses
from Turkey into Syria at Jarablus.
Kurdish forces “must move back
across the Euphrates River. They
cannot, will not, under any cir-
cumstance get American support
if they do not keep that commit-
ment,” he said.
The Turkish assault, launched
in retaliation ater a string of mili-
tant bombings in Turkey, adds yet
another powerhouse force on the
ground in an already complicated
war.
Militants attack
American University
in Afghanistan, 1 dead
“I went to the window to see
what was going on, and I saw a
person in normal clothes outside.
He shot at me and shattered the
glass,” Hossaini said, adding that
he fell on the glass and cut his
hands.
The students then barricaded
themselves inside the classroom,
pushing chairs and desks against
the door, and staying on the loor.
Hossaini said at least two gre-
nades were thrown into the class-
room, wounding several of his
classmates.
Hossaini and about nine stu-
dents later managed to escape
from the campus through an
emergency gate.
