Subject: Pitt Helps Preserve Historical House Author: Gina [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:47:00 08/16/07 Thu From IMDb http://us.imdb.com/news/sb/ Pitt Helps Preserve Historical House Film star Brad Pitt, an architecture buff who has sometimes designed the alterations of his own homes, has sponsored architecture competitions, and counts the architect Frank Gehry among his friends, has managed to raise $50,000 to help pay for the upkeep of a historical house near Chicago. Pitt reportedly insisted that architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House in suburban Plano be used as the location site for a TV commercial he was appearing in for a Japanese jeans company. (Pitt does not appear in U.S. commercials.) The four-day shoot called for the producers of the commercial to pay the Landmark Preservation Council of Illinois $50,000 for use of the house. David Bahlman, president of the council, remarked, "This is a wonderful thing that Pitt did." ------------------------------------------------------ Wow, how great!! And finally, Brad can be acknowledged for something without his sidekick getting mentioned. Wonders never cease in life. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
