From the Beginning
I Did Not Speak in Secret

bly the worst job in the history of the
entertainment business — answering
the complaint line. If I had a better
job in New York, I probably would
have stayed there and not applied to
film school at the University of
Southern California.
"[It's turned out that] I've loved
every project that I've worked on and
every movie that I've made. What's
fun is being able to work on more
than one movie at a time. While we
were making Shanghai Noon, we were
making Keeping the Faith. We're in
production on two movies right now.
"I like finding the right writers, and
I like finding the directors. I like to
put the elements together and let the
filmmakers — [director and actors] —
make it happen themselves."
Glickman thinks that growing up
in Washington as the son of a politi-
cian was helpful in his transition into
the film industry. He believes the two
worlds have much in common.
"I've met every president [in my
time] except Ronald Reagan, and we
keep the photos of me with them in
our bathroom so it's not taken too seri-
ously," Glickman jokes. "Politics and
filmmaking are personality businesses.
You have to communicate all the time.
"I always was surrounded by
important personalities — people like
Al Gore and Dick Gephardt, who
were close friends of my father. Seeing
them in my personal life sort of took
the edge off celebrities."
Glickman finds little time away
from work. Married to a writer,
Christy, he is involved peripherally
with United Jewish Communities
(formerly the UJA) and attends High
Holiday services at Temple Israel near
his home in the Los Angeles area. He
tries to make time to support the
Entertainment Industry Foundation
and the Gore campaign. Occasionally,
there's tennis or golf.
"When we made Grosse Pointe
Blank, about a 10-year high school
reunion, we went to Detroit for one
day to shoot John Cusack driving over
the Ambassador Bridge," Glickman
says. "Anybody from Grosse Pointe
knows that it wasn't Grosse Pointe, so
I've had a lot of grief on that from
people in Detroit, but I've had a lot of
fun returning to Detroit for
Thanksgiving and going to the
Detroit Lions football games on the
holiday." ❑

Shanghai Noon , rated PG-13,
opens today in area theaters.
