B Y   T H E   N U M B E R S The campus as movie set Scenes for the new Ron Howard movie, "A Beautiful Mind," are expected to be shot at Princeton this spring. The picturesque campus has been a favorite of film crews and still photographers over the years, according to information provided by the Center for Visitors and Conference Services. • In the last 10 years, crews have shot on campus for several major motion pictures, including: "Scent of a Woman" (1992), starring Al Pacino and Chris O'Donnell; "I.Q" (1994), starring Meg Ryan and Walter Matthau; and "One True Thing" (1998) starring Meryl Streep, Renee Zellweger and William Hurt. • Film crews shot documentary footage here on the late U.S. and Princeton president Woodrow Wilson in November 2000 and on author F. Scott Fitzgerald in January 2001. • Several companies have shot television commercials here, including ads for Folger's Coffee, UPS, U.S. overnight mail, Champion and ESPN. • Many still photos for ads and for magazines also have been taken on campus, including shots for Abercrombie & Fitch, Maxim, Mercedes-Benz, Elle, Tommy Hilfiger, Macy's, Bloomberg and Nike. • In February 1998, Oprah Winfrey came to Princeton; crews shot her book club meeting on "Paradise" with author and faculty member Toni Morrison. top		March 12, 2001 Vol. 90, No. 20 previous   archives   next Contents • Preserving pages: Keeping library materials on the shelves • Program targets society and law issues People • Steps announced on workers' issues • People / Spotlight In print • Set chronicles 4,000 years of Mesoamerican history • Encyclopedia captivates readers • In print Sections • Calendar of events • Nassau Notes • By the numbers The Bulletin is published weekly during the academic year, except during University breaks and exam weeks, by the Office of Communications, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544.
