My One and Only New Neighbors

George Hamilton nearly replaced Bob Barker on the Price is Right.

Not that I normally park on Read Street, but I’m having beef with the fat cat trailers crowding our Baltimore Block environs. For weeks, they’ve been parked up and down the set of the George Hamilton biopic “My One and Only,” which apparently stars Renee Zellwegger (sighted in Towson’s own Target!) as Hamilton’s man-hunting mom, Anne Deveraux. According to Variety, which reports that Kevin Bacon’s ne’re-do-well character prompts what Forbes calls her “quixotic search“, the “eccentric and glamorous” mom drives down the east coast on the prowl. Sez the Baltimore Sun’s Chris Kaltenbach, the road trip movie takes the family through New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburgh and Kansas City. Thanks to Charm City’s old brick buildings and desperation-fueled tax incentives, various Baltimore locations are apparently standing in for said cities, so film will be rolling here for nearly all of the 38-day shoot.
