Alec Baldwin spotted all around Flint, meets with mayor
FLINT, MI -- Alec Baldwin was spotted around Flint Wednesday, Feb. 20 while in town shooting a documentary.
Baldwin stopped at Flint City Hall, met Mayor Karen Weaver, and the two had a photo taken together, spokeswoman Candice Mushatt confirmed.
Sources reached by The Flint Journal-MLive Wednesday said the actor was in town working on a documentary about the Flint water crisis. The documentary, by filmmaker Anthony Baxter, has been in the works since 2017, according to Variety.
Water activist Florissa Fowler said she had brunch with Baldwin, who was aghast at her $640 water bill.

All kidding aside, Good for him for doing this. I know Alec can be "complicated" at times, but he's an overall good guy.

(26,270 posts)I don't think Michael comes around, as much, since his father's death. Last I knew he still owned a house in Davison, which is east of Flint (Davison is Michael's 'home town').
It would be interesting if someone followed up on 'pets or meat' lady (Rhonda Britton). Last I heard she was still living in the same house, but no longer sells rabbits - she's more into scrap metal and rat terriers (as pets!).

(18,770 posts)That part of the movie struck a chord with me (maybe because Fatal Attraction came out at the same time ).
And thank you for the Moore insight. I've been a fan for 30 yrs (Since Roger & Me).

(26,270 posts)I'd see and talk to Michael every so often. I remember him as being VERY quiet and shy but also kind of sweet. Years later I met up with him at an awards dinner and I was surprised at how much he hadn't changed. He stayed around and talked with EVERYONE, and was one of the very last people to leave.
I fully admit I've always had a very soft spot, in my heart, for Michael.
