I have played this story for a few people. I love this it because it provides some insight into the craziness of Hollywood.
I'm sure portions of it are, let's say, embellished. Unless we are to believe his memory is really that good.
And that is part of why he's a good storyteller. If he can't remember something, just fills it in.
I can't believe I listened to the entire thing.
This is the guy who took a movie about NOTHING and made it 90 minutes long and actually interesting. There are things one could do to mimic style, but much of it is innate.
