Apparenlty Joel Coen and his wife Frances McDormand escaped a fire on Wednesday!!! This from IMDB news… “Actor Jake Gyllenhaal and his sister Maggie Gyllenhaal escaped without injury after being caught up in a fire early on Wednesday at a California inn. The two were staying at Manka’s Inverness Lodge in Marin County for Christmas when a tree fell on the structure, sparking the fire. According to Marin County Fire Department Battlion Chief Mike Giannini, “From my perspective, it looks like a total loss of the main lodge and the restaurant.” Neighbor Judy Prokupek, who witnessed the devastation, said guests were seen running out of the inn at around 2:43 am, adding, “They weren’t dressed to come out. It was early.” Chef and co-owner Daniel Delong said the Brokeback Mountain star assisted with the recovery efforts saying, “Jake was helping me pull things out of the fire.” Other well-known guests at the inn were Fargo star Frances McDormand and her husband Joel Coen. No injuries were reported.” Wonder if it would have been so widely reported had the young and pretty Gyllenhaals not been there… Thanks to Mark for the nod.
