But let’s just take a moment to realize the karmic goodness of what ended up happening later:
Years and years and years later, Billy Crystal directed Jack Palance (of Shane fame) in what would be an Oscar-winning performance in City Slickers. Can you imagine that? How cool that must have felt for Billy Crystal? How it must have felt like: Okay. I can die now. Thanks, God!!
To not only work with someone who had such an enormous impact on you as a kid … but to direct this person to a long-deserved Oscar … I mean, Jeez, life doesn’t get much better than that.
