Hollywood. Vine Street. Sunset Boulevard. And Everything In Between. · · · フリー・フォーリンへの呼び出し Furī Fōrin e no Yobidashi (The Call to Free Fallin') I got a page from my agent, and the second I saw the number, I knew I had to pull over. This was before cell phones, so I found the nearest payphone, dug through my purse for quarters, and fed them into the slot. My agent answered and said: "You have an audition for an MTV music video. Directed by Julien Temple. For Tom Petty." My heart exploded. I knew exactly who Julien Temple was — he was my favorite director because of Earth Girls Are Easy with Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis. The moment my agent said his name, I felt the electricity go through my body. I couldn't believe I had a callback for him. Then my agent said the magic words: “Dress 50s.” I didn’t even say goodbye. I hung up the phone, ran back to my car, and — in true Cristal fashion — jumped straight into my convertible without opening the door. I was too excited for that. Who has time for doors when Julien Temple is waiting? I tore down the road straight to Contempo Casuals, one of my all-time favorite stores in the mall. They don’t have Contempo anymore — which is tragic — because back then it was the place to be for cute, affordable outfits. I knew exactly what I needed: a whole 50s look, head to toe. I remember picking everything out in a rush — the hat, the shorts, the top, the gloves, the jewelry — and it was all only about $40. And honestly? Back then, $40 felt like a lot of money… but for Julien Temple? Worth every penny. I walked out of Contempo Casuals feeling like a character straight out of a 1950s postcard… and ready for whatever Hollywood had waiting for me. · · · キャスティングの知らせ Kyasutingu no Shirase (The Call Back After the Callback) After leaving Julien Temple’s office, I was floating. I didn’t walk out — I glided out, still hearing his voice in my head, still feeling that electric moment when a director sees you. I was halfway home, driving along Mulholland, when suddenly my pager went off. I looked down at the number and my heart dropped into my stomach.
