The year was 1989, and Michael Jackson’s mega-smash album Bad had been burning up the charts since its release in 1987. The ninth single from that album, “Liberian Girl,” had a video (directed by superstar producer Quincy Jones) into which celebrities of the day—Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Richard Dreyfuss, Amy Irving, Steven Spielberg, Paula Abdul etc—were packed like sardines. One of those celebrity sardines was … me! In this video post, I reflect on my experience shooting this music video, which I get asked about a lot. Check it out!
