Ойын-сауық

They played mother and son in the horror classic ‘Cujo’ and all these decades on, DEE WALLACE and DANNY PINTAURO remain the closest of friends. Dee opens up about how she got her start in showbiz by baking cookies … Danny got his start as a child catalogue model. After Cujo, Danny went on to star in the classic series ‘Who’s the Boss’ - but celebrity wasn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Dee has survived heartbreak when her husband died too early but death didn’t stop them communicating. Danny took control when a tabloid wanted to out him and he reveals how his HIV status has helped others. This is a truly inspiring interview with two showbiz survivors.

    That first director sounds strange! Dee and Danny are both phenomenal in Cujo, amazing how the car siege is condensed into 45 or so tense minutes. So many iconic scenes and jump scares - Cujo at the Pinto window, attacking the car when the phone rings, the big attack scene and Tad’s seizure Dee and Danny speak about here, Bannerman’s death, the final showdown. Flawless performances, cinematography and an atmospheric score.

    I have always said that Dee Wallace should had been at least nominated for an Academy Award for her role in Cujo! That fight scene was intense, demanding & awesome!!

    My mom is a big horror movie fan and when I was a little kid I saw a lot of horror films...she and I saw Cujo when I was about five years old. I guess I got desensitized to all the violence and gore at a young age but Cujo kinda hit a little close to home because we had a family on our block that owned a big St. Bernard who'd often be roaming the streets without a leash or the owners in sight.

    As a recently-turned 53 year old (birthday was 6/26) gay, autistic, HIV+ man who has been recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure, as both Dee & Danny both said "the Universe came together" and it did come at the moment in my life I needed to hear more of their stories as growing up "Cujo" is one of the reasons I'm a cat person and never owned a dog (LOL), ET was (until "Sleepless In Seattle" as I had just recently come out as openly gay on September 30th, 1992 at age 21, while active duty in the US Navy stationed across the Puget Sound & I was born/raised in Baltimore, Maryland) my all-time favorite movie, listening to both of them share inspiring moments of their lives helped put a smile on my face. PS - #DeeWallace you officially became my favorite "Hollywood Mom" when you made a guest appearance on my all-time favorite TV show "Ally McBeal" ("Buried Pleasures" & sorry you lost that case though). PSS - Craig you very HOT if I may say so!!!

    When I saw Cujo, I thought that surely that kid was actually terrified and must be traumatized. His reactions were just amazing. It's hard for me to fathom how a kid that age could possibly understand a situation like that enough to show the terror that he did. I remember having a conversation with someone about it and he said, "I think they forgot to tell Danny that it wasn't real". Probably the best performance I've ever seen from a child actor. Dee has so many great performances, but this is the first interview I've seen of her. She seems incredibly strong and wise and comes across as an amazing friend.

    In my opinion, the film was robbed from receiving some Oscar nominations. I think Dee Wallace should have gotten a Best Actress nomination, as well as for Best Makeup, Cinematography, and Art Direction.

Dee and Danny were just incredible in 'Cujo' and I've always marveled at Danny's performance, considering how young he was. They are both inspiring and I wish Danny the best in his return to acting.

    I take every opportunity I can on social media when discussions about alcoholism come up, because so many of us get it wrong. People don’t fail or kill themselves because of alcohol; people who drink heavily and then fail or kill themselves are very deeply troubled people and often very intelligent people who have a hard time dealing with the mundane world and hence turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate to feel good. They are not bad people. They are not stupid people. They are often times very deep, creative, introspective, intelligent people who are very depressed and turn to alcohol or drugs to self medicate. Drugs and alcohol don’t lead to their downfall or their depression. Quite the contrary, depression often leads to substance abuse.
