3 分钟Hello, I'm Lauren Laverne.
Welcome to Desert Island Discs Postcards,
where we share funny, moving and memorable moments directly from our desert island with you every weekday.
Today's postcard comes from the director, Steven Spielberg,
who I spoke to in 2022. He gave the world Jaws, E.T. And Jurassic Park,
but Steven told me how he got his start in the film industry by employing both skill and stealth.
I heard that there was a tour at Universal.
You could get on a bus.
So I took the tour on the bus and we had a bathroom
break and everybody was allowed to get out, stretch their legs and go to the restroom.
And I hid in the stall.
Of one of the restrooms.
I didn't come out until I was sure everybody had gotten back on the bus and the bus drove away.
And I spent the rest of my day literally walking around the lot,
going into sound stages and watching some television being shot.
And there happened to be a very nice man there named Chuck Silvers
who ran the library at Universal where all the films were kept.
And when I said I jumped off the bus because I wanted to be a movie director,
he thought that was really original and kind of novel and thought that was terrific.
And he said, what kind of movies do you make?
