Why don’t your movies include handicapped skiers anymore? Q: Dear Warren, I sat in the front row when you screened a film for over 100 physically challenged skiers at the National Handicapped Sports’ 1992 Ski Spectacular in Breckenridge, Colorado. Maybe I misheard you when you promised that any film that you had anything to do with would have at least one sequence featuring a blind, or amputee, or mono-skier. I am sure that it was words to that I don’t mean to saddle you with a quota system, but I would like to know when you are going to show some great scenes of extreme mono-skiers, or even just some getting on a lift. I know lots of people are fascinated with the concept of skiing despite a physical disability. I see that every time I get on the lift. I think half the people in line must be thinking to Best regards from a mono-skier, Jimmy Collins A: Six years ago I sold my company to my son; I no longer have editorial control over the movies. When I did, there were always handicapped skiers in the films. And if I had the say-so, I would, of course, keep my promise. |
