George Hamilton Video Interview On Rene Zellweger, Logan Lerman, ‘My One And Only’

He’s a Hollywood icon who made a movie about his crazy childhood, My One and Only, starring Rene Zellweger, now out on DVD.

Q: What was it like seeing your vision for the movie come to life after all these years?

Hamilton: My One and Only is an extraordinary film. The boy playing me, Logan Urman, is phenomenal. He just, he looks a lot like me and momentarily I think that’s me. And Chris Nod, Mr. Big, he plays one of the stepfathers and Kevin Bacon plays my father. It’s an amazing thing that you get a story about your life on film and, more importantly, that it’s this kind of caliber film that people will love to see. I wrote a book called Don’t Mind If I Do and this was a chapter in that book, but I wrote the book after My One and Only came out. So it’s kind of weird, all in one year this has happened. And I’m 70-years-old now, you know, I can just enjoy myself at a day at the beach, I don’t have to be doing anything else now. But it’s strange I’m actually in action doing things. It’s fantastic talking about this.

Q: Where there any crazy moments from your book that didn’t make it into the movie?

Hamilton: Oh sure, there’s plenty of things that, I mean my life was, this was just the forerunner of it all. I mean if you read the book or you could read the book you’d see the book is, it tells it all just the way it happened. So My One and Only is just an incident of the book. The book which is Don’t Mind If I Do tells it all and maybe that’s what I should ask you to do if you’re interested in following it up, you know, buy a book and see that. God knows I don’t know if I can make another film out of this. I better go on and do something else. One year: a book and a film on your life, it’s posthumous almost.
