I was surprised there was so many glamorous ladies making guitars. Not a mask in sight during the painting and sanding. They probably all died from guitar lung.

I got an email from Gibson promoting it. Didn't get around to watching earlier.

Come on man, Hollywood guys came to film them. Once in a life time opportunity back then and those fine Michigan ladies, who could be putting trucks together instead of making guitars, made a day out of it. For many of them that was probably a story to tell in their families for decades to come

Meryl Streep was discovered in the Gibson factory, scraping binding.

Wasn't Bob De Niro chopping tonewoods around there at that exact time?
