"Fast Times" Director Convicts Phil Spector

Posted Jul 9th 2007 12:36PM by TMZ Staff

"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" director Amy Heckerling doesn't need a Hollywood ending to the ongoing Phil Spector/Lana Clarkson murder trial -- as far as she's concerned -- he did it! Hey bud, you're guilty!
Amy Heckerling vs. Phil Spector
After being introduced by good friend Drew Barrymore at a "Fast Times" screening at L.A.'s Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Saturday, Hecklerling raved about the late Lana Clarkson, who appears as an extra in the film, before saying, "...and then Phil Spector killed her ... allegedly." End scene! While the comment was received with shocked laughter by the capacity crowd, Heckerling humorously added, " But everyone else in it (the movie) is doing fine." Paging Phoebe Cates!

Spector is currenty on trial for allegedly fatally shooting Lana Clarkson in 2003. Clarkson is buried at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

After directing the 1982 hit film which launched the teen-sex comedy genre, Heckerling went on to make "European Vacation" and "Clueless."

17. About time someone said it outloud in public----he killed her. he wont get off, hollywood justice has changed now and he will go to state prison for the rest of his life where he will learn the real meaning of doing things against your will. Suicide Solution Phil, not just for yourself but all of us please. You've harmed enough women in your lifetime and than went and killed one.

This guy was nothing more than a speaker tinkerer freak, not a genius as so many have claimed. See what happens when the Pied Piper is actually a Nut Job? So many follow and follow the wrong leader for the wrong reasons.

18. When this story becomes a movie, Dana Carvey should play the leading role. He looks like a younger version of Spector.

19. Another "little" man with a napoleon complex trying to compensate for what he lacks by using his power and control over women. I bet she wasn't attracted to him and was on her way out the door.She had her purse on her shoulder! First,she "shot him down" by saying"NO" ,then he shot her down. I think he's been very sick for a long time.Look at all the female witnesses that said he was nuts and threatened them. I'm disgusted by the way these rich men get away with murder. Throw him in a cell with a big con who could turn him upside down and use his hair for a scrub brush in the toilet everyday. Put him somewhere
that his money won't mean anything .

24. Now Denny - be nice to your Aunt Lucy.was she that mean to you?? Lol Eww he is a grosssss mess!!!!!!

25. # 23 Sherry -- Please don't insult Barney! (and he's a hellova lot better looking too!) I DO believe, however, that you are 100% right as far as the others not coming forward before. They may have saved this women he took out. They can get paid to call it suicide all they want. The woman had her coat on to leave and plus she just met the guy (Spector) hours before. If he didn't do it then I'm the Queen of England!

26. The hair is just a ploy to keep your eyes off of that ugly mug. The hair is more interesting than the face. To the gallows with him.

27. I was there at the cemetery when the comments were made by Amy. I don't see why TMZ said there was shocked laughter. We all were cheering and agreeing with her as we all know that Phil is guilty.

28. WHEN THEY MAKE THE M.O.W. OF THIS EVENT THE PEE WEE HERMAN ACTOR SHOULD PLAY SPECTOR. PUT A FRIGHT WIG ON HIM AND YOU HAVE A GREAT LOOK ALIKE.
HOPE THEY HANG EM HIGH. BUT YOU HAVE 9 MEN ON THE JURY WHICH MAY PRESENT A PROBLEM FOR THE PROSECUTION AS THEY MAY SIDE WITH THE MURDERER.
