PLAYING THEMSELVES
Celebrities appearing in films as versions of their “real life” selves comes in several forms.
You’ve got The Beatles poking fun at their stardom in A HARD DAY’S NIGHT; Howard Stern reenacting supposedly true events from his memoir in PRIVATE PARTS; and some stars who are just good sports playing wacky versions of themselves, like John Malkovich in BEING JOHN MALKOVICH and Al Pacino in JACK AND JILL.
This series includes some of our favorites. See more at Williamsburg.
