My bad, New Jersey, you're not an island. the turnpike stinks, but not the farms. Not everybody from Jersey is a jerk, just everyone in the movies, and on a brief and limited documentary. forgive me, jersey, i wanna play skee ball on the shore.
NYC - i know we're referrin to states, but NYC has a lot of people. and all the movies i've seen that would make me avoid New York are based in the city. not a whole lotta murder-suspense movies set in Rochester.


and my biggest my-bad goes to whatever state you're from:

The City of New York, every year for over a decade, has had one of the lowest crime rates in the US. Movies of every genre are shot in New York, because New York is not boring. People are more likely to pay to see a movie based in New York, than Kentucky. I guess you only see murder-suspense films.

I don't know why exactly but I will NEVER ever ever ever as long as I have control over it, go to Arizona. I just feel like there would be tarantulas everywhere since they live down there...omg I think I would vomit and then die of a heart attack if I saw a tarantula just crawling around out in my backyard. AGH.


Also California b/c of the whol earthquake thing, I just have this huge fear of being swallowed up by the earth. But I've been to CA before for vacation and obviously nothing happened to me, so...

I think it's just a Georgia thing? Only kidding!!! I better stop or some people are gonna get really PO'd!

There's a little debate on who played him, he is generally credited as Hoyt J. Pollard. According to IMDB he made one more film appearance 13 years later in a movie called "Blastfighter". His role.... 'Banjo player'.
As for his 'condition' Cutie, he is oft described as "genetically-compromised Appalachian boy"/"bald albino boy" rather than a reference to any condition beyond inbreeding? One source provides this: Did you Know?
For his role as the inbred mute banjo boy in Deliverance (1972), actor Hoyt Pollard endured two hours of make-up for his drastic cosmetic change. The result was one of the decade's most memorable cinematic appearances.

On the debate of whom he was, it (the banjo playing boy role in the 'dulleing banjos' scene) is also attributed to "Billy Redden". Source: "I read the book by Chris Dickey (Summer of Deliverance) The boy that did that scene was who he was. He was a real backward boy. He (the author) did not mention a Hoyt Pollard."

Billy Redden played Lonny, the young banjo player. He also recently played the banjo in Big Fish.

It's shame when wonderful places given erroneous images thru the media so that people miss out on visiting them.

North Georgia is beautiful...
