People, including higher-ups in the movie industry, could easily become enamored with and intimidated by her, said film set construction coordinator Arlen Johnson. Hughes died of natural causes Monday in her home in Pueblo, Colo. Hughes was born April 25, , in Lenapah, Okla. Her family moved to Pueblo, Colo.
There she got a cosmetology license and ran a beauty shop for years. Hughes told The New Mexican in a interview she decided to make a new start when she turned 50 and moved to New Mexico, where her parents had once lived. While taking courses to become a real estate agent, she met Santa Fe rancher Glenn Hughes. Having been married and divorced, Imogene Hughes had no intention of marrying again until Glenn Hughes asked her out for lunch.
Glenn Hughes, who died in , came from a family of ranchers who for years ran the Forked Lightning Ranch near Pecos, as well as Bonanza Creek Ranch. Bonanza Creek had hosted film productions for decades. In the mids, director Anthony Mann filmed the James Stewart revenge Western The Man from Laramie there, though the ranch did not yet have its collection of film sets. According to a New Mexico magazine article, cattle drive sequences for the s television series Rawhide also were shot there.
Late in , Columbia Pictures contracted with Bonanza Creek Ranch to build sets for the film Silverado, released in After that, the ranch became popular with filmmakers looking for landscapes containing mountains, prairies and streams.
Imogene Hughes was a fair but tough negotiator who knew her business when she was dealing with movie production people, said Rebecca Puck Stair, a location manager who befriended Hughes and often worked with her to rent the ranch.
She said Hughes would lobby lawmakers and governors to build support for filmmaking in New Mexico. Stair said the couple had the sense to make deals with movie companies that ensured the sets those companies built for films stayed on the property.
She said there are at least six standing sets with cabins, barns and a fort on the property, located south of Santa Fe. Once those companies took root on the ranch to film, Hughes would be both warm and welcoming — offering coffee at all hours, checking in to see if the roads were usable — and strict about such on-set rules as adhering to the ranch speed limit of 15 miles per hour, Johnson said.
Quotes Libby : What about your family? Libby : Anyway User reviews 62 Review. Top review. A girl has lost her way and comes back home with quirky comedy. A failed attempt of a fake suicide attempt sends Imogene back where she came from. All the way to New Jersey. It's an indie film with a fairly minimal distribution, which generally means the film is going to try to survive on quirky comedy.
Luckily, Wiig has had a decade's worth of experience doing quirky comedy on "Saturday Night Live". Also, luckily the film is more than just a quirky indie comedy. It's very much a character study, and a bit of a quarter- life crisis dramedy thrown in for good measure. Imogene doesn't know herself very well. She once knew she was a good writer, now she just thinks she's a good writer. She once knew she was better than the family she came from, now she just thinks she's better.
She also thinks her life will be better if she gets to know her great and successful father whom she doesn't know. Her home life features comedy from her weird and bizarre mother, Zelda, her weirder and more bizarre new-step-father-like figure, George, and her weird but well-intentioned younger brother, Ralph.
There's also a strange man sleeping in her bed. This strange man is Lee Darren Criss , who is actually not strange at all. He is a young man mired in a quarter-life crisis who has rented out her room as a place to stay. He represents the romantic angle of Imogene's attempt to get her life back on track, and was actually a very welcome addition to the movie. Lee was much more sane, understanding, and more aware of his place in life than any of the characters.
He was exactly the type of guy who could keep Imogene more grounded with her distorted life views. The comedy is sweet, although at times it can become to quirky to be all that funny. The writing is good, even though at times it can be a little too self-aware to be all the great. But "Girl Most Likely" is a fairly enjoyable journey of a girl who has completely lost her way in life. It focuses on family, ambition and ties it all up with quirky comedy.
