The funeral for James Ellroy’s fictional stand-in was, predictably, a disaster before the first canapé hit the table. Roman had spent the morning trying to work his “hard-boiled noir” screenplay into the eulogy, muttering about “the dame who walked in with a corpse’s smile.” Casey kept trying to pitch her improv group’s “tragicomic funeral revue” to actual mourners. Kyle, dressed as a solemn pallbearer, was caught adjusting his biceps in a spoon’s reflection.
