E.T. and Me
Manage episode 451137325 series 3490541
In 1981, 11-year-old Matt De Meritt got a phone call that would change his life. He wasn’t a child actor, or a performer of any kind. He was just a suburban kid enjoying his summer before he had to go back to school. But Matt had something no other kid had — something Steven Spielberg needed in order to embark on his most ambitious movie yet.
Note: This episode contains discussions of suicide. Please take care while listening.
