In preparation for this morning’s tribute to Daniel Day-Lewis here in Telluride, I took a look at the actor’s Wikipedia entry. It’s full of breathlessly-recounted anecdotes meant to manifest Day-Lewis’ reputation as the eccentric method-acting rebel. He was so wild as a teenager that he got sent to boarding school! He broke two ribs to play Christy Brown! He quit stage acting after being visit by the ghost of his own father while performing Hamlet! He once disappeared into the Italian countryside, where he allegedly learned how to make shoes!

It’ll be interesting to see if the tribute plays up/plays into that persona, or if it attempts to puncture it at all. More later.
