Heidi Ho story.
Mad Jack: "Heidi's a friend of mine, and I know that you and Marc go back, but your comment about him being a consummate professional is probably true, but almost a year ago when I was shooting and I talked to [Ray] Pistol, he told me to get a hold of Medoff to buy some of my stuff. Over a period of a couple of months I left, maybe, ten messages for him and didn't get one return phone call."
[Gene sez: "The eleventh is usually the charm.]
Mad Jack: "To me that's kind of insulting. I left a pretty detailed voice mail more than once about who I was, where I was from, and who told me to call. You'd think that with him working for Pistol if I said that Ray told me to call, he would have returned a phone call. But that's neither here nor there. From reading this story, Medoff says he needed to interview Heidi for four days. I kind of wonder what's going to take four days to interview somebody about her situation with her husband or ex-husband. The fact is they were only going to give her a $1,000 to do all kinds of stuff when this girl is in business to make money and promote herself. Honestly, I'm siding with her on this one.
"I shot the last scene of the movie that's in question [Anal-yze This] that she did. In fact, I met her because she called me to get a PCR-DNA test because I'm the AIM rep in Vegas now. I didn't know if that was out."
G. Ross: "I will out you."
Jack: "Please out me. Anyway, that's the reason why Heidi initially called. She didn't know who I was and what I did, but she needed someone to do camera for the final scene and needed someone to edit.
"Heidi was incredibly pumped about going to New York. I know her well enough to know that she wanted to get the push on this thing. She called me from New York and said I really don't know what's going on, Jack. This guy [Medoff] who I thought was going to handle all this p.r. is leaving me, basically, sitting in a hotel room. Something else that Medoff didn't tell you is that he set up the meet with her and this 'magazine editor' that she ended up spending some time with. I know that she was trying to make money while she was there. It wasn't a party-to-get-drunk kind of thing. It was a let's make some money while we're there situation. That's why she was trying to shoot all the scenes she could. Of course they were paying her expenses and a grand when she was done, but for four day's work, that's not much money in this business.
"She's cool. I'm probably taking over the whole push on this gig, now. I'll run with it and do my Mad Jack-thing. Maybe I'm not hep but how much stuff does APS do? Where does it go? Obviously this story is not on the scale of Marylin Star, but that's basically why Heidi contacted Marc to begin with."
G. Ross: "Hey, a couple more Internet episodes, and Heidi's going to get as well known as Kid Vegas."
Jack: "That's too much. My buddy Kid. You know I hung with him at the [CEOs] show. We're okay. In fact we were going to collaborate on something just for the helluva it. Actually, he is a pretty good kid. He's like me; he's just mouthy."
