What's on Your Bucket List?

"The Bucket List," starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, follows two men who meet in a hospital and then set out to accomplish all the things they have always meant to do in life before they kick the bucket. (See review on Page 28.) So Weekend's Ellen McCarthy contacted Freeman and a few local notables to ask . . .

Morgan Freeman: "I have a movie company, and I have a list of movies I'd like to get done, including Arthur C. Clarke's 'Rendezvous With Rama.' "

Dana Perino, White House press secretary: "I'd like to trace my ancestry back. . . . I know my great-grandparents came from the Turin area of Italy, but I'd like to go there myself and find out if I have any relatives still living in the area."

Lindsay Czarniak, sports reporter, NBC4: "It's the cheesiest thing on the planet. But I grew up as a child going fishing with my father at the beach. And one of my goals has always been to catch a sand shark." Also: "To host a Macy's [Thanksgiving] Day Parade."

Michel Richard, chef at Michel Richard Citronelle: "I want to paint a painting that will hang in the Museum of Modern Art -- next to van Gogh." And: "I want to make sure by the time I die, that I will be able to fit in a smaller size coffin."

Marcus Washington, Redskins linebacker: "I'd like to go to Egypt to see some of the Sphinx and the pyramids . . . and I'd like to ride in on a camel, you know, to make it real. I've always been fascinated by Egypt -- so much history."

Eleanor Holmes Norton (D), D.C. congressional delegate: "You guessed it: to see the District of Columbia become the 51st state."
