Donal Logue

Donal Logue Instagram – Julian Sands went missing over two months ago while climbing Mount Baldy in stormy conditions.
Every time I look to the east, to the snow capped San Gabriel mountains, I think Julian is up there.
Somewhere.
I knew him like millions around the world did, through his work, but I also knew Julian from work. We did two gigs together– Wim Wenders “The Million Dollar Hotel” and “Gotham.”
Meeting Julian was like meeting a rock star. After “A Room With a View” and “The Killing Fields,” he was a bonafide superstar. Beautiful, intelligent, passionate, a little dangerous, he had so many qualities rolled into one it was almost unfair. But I was to discover Julian’s greatest quality was his kindness and gentle nature.
On all-night shoots, Julian was the guy I paired off with for midnight lunch breaks. We instantly fell in step and talked life, family. He was funny. He was incredibly humble. He was proof (to steal a phrase from Tim Minear) that “God does indeed give with both hands.”
I stepped outside today and felt the warmth of spring approaching and thought, “Soon, Julian will be found and be with his family.” | Posted on 19/Mar/2023 01:15:02
