Country US Language English My Breakfast with Blassie (1983) is a movie starring Andy Kaufman and professional wrestler "Classy" Freddie Blassie. It is a mostly improvised parody of the popular art film My Dinner with Andre and is set in a restaurant where Kaufman and Blassie have a discussion over breakfast. Also featured is Kaufman's partner Bob Zmuda, who plays a nosy fan. Lynne Margulies, who would later become Kaufman's girlfriend, also plays a role; in fact, she and Kaufman met for the first time on camera.
My Breakfast with Blassie was conceived of by Linda Lautrec and Johnny Legend as a satire on "My Dinner with Andre." Linda Lautrec and Andy Kaufman loosely scripted the film over several months late night on the telephone. Part of the script included Bob Zmuda's entrance as a disgusting customer who pulls straws out of his nose. Linda's dual role (as director and actress) was scripted as an irritating fan who requests Andy's autograph after he washes his hands.
