Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Harold Ramis: 2 lines

  1. unmapped (autobiographical) · through Look Who's Talking (1989), which they acted in: Harold Ramis ⇒ Look Who's Talking (the host's read). The speakers say the film is Heckerling's personal grievance about Ramis, who fathered her daughter Molly while Neil Israel believed the child was his.
    “The child that Neil Israel thought was his own was actually the byproduct of a years-long affair that she had had with Harold Ramos.”
