You Ought to be in Pictures: More than 50 people responded to an invitation
to a casting call for a Robert DeNiro movie being shot in Boston. The only
problem was, the invitations were sent by police. To people with outstanding
arrest warrants. One woman complained she "took a day off from work" to meet
DeNiro. She was led away in handcuffs instead. "It's so nice to scam people
who are scammers," one detective said. The casting call, sent to 3,800
fugitives, offered more than $200 for two hours of work as extras, plus the
chance of "becoming famous." (UPI)
