REBA RECALLS...

I was filming Tremors, touring and getting married all at the same time! This was my very first movie. We filmed it out in the desert in Lone Pine, California. I would get into the motel around 2am, and here they’d come to take me to the set by 4am! It would be cold in the morning and evening and scorching hot in the afternoon. It certainly wasn’t glamorous!! I loved working with Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Michael Gross and the entire cast. Mama was with me on some of the shooting. On June 2nd, she drove with me from Lone Pine to Lake Tahoe where we had 3 shows to do that weekend. We did our Friday night show at Caesars, got married Saturday afternoon on a catamaran at Emerald Bay, did our first show, had our wedding reception and then did our 2nd show. The next day, I went back to filming Tremors. We didn’t have our Honeymoon until June 21st!
