‘A Star Is Born’
Elliott most recently worked on the film A Star is Born, directed by Bradley Cooper. Elliott only had positive things to say about his experience. “He [Cooper] is super intelligent, has an incredible work ethic. And Stefani [Lady Gaga] is equally incredible. She’s going to surprise a lot of people with her acting ability. It’s an amazing experience to be with them both.”
South In The Mouth
While most directors scrambled to secure Elliott and his iconic voice, it wasn’t always right for every role. Elliott recounted an experience while working on the film Lifeguard. He said, “I did do a movie called Lifeguard back in 1976 with a director named Dan Petrie, who did a lot of incredible work. Every once in a while, he would tell me: ‘Let’s do it again, and this time, let’s be a little less south in the mouth.’ That’s always amused me.”
