Lake Wobegon, The Movie

In an article in The New York Times, David Carr writes about the filming of Garrison Keillor's radio show, "A Prairie Home Companion" which is currently in production in St. Paul. Director Robert Altman and PH founder Keillor are giving each other credit for the movie, which has considerable star power, including Lily Tomlin, Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Kline and Meryl Streep.

With several roles, among them screenwriter and star, Keillor on the set is decribed as "an ambulatory puddle of quiet angst." Since that is his general demeanor, it is no surprise to Minnesotans.
