"Then this young woman comes in, the receptionist, puts something on the desk and as she's leaving Francis [Coppola] finally speaks up and goes, 'Hey, Hey, Hey. You think this kid could be 18?' And whoever this young woman, God Bless her, who she is and wherever she is, she said, 'Oh yeah, sure.' And I think that's how I got the job," he tells Harry.
