Behind the Scenes with Joan Allen – Hachi: A Dog’s Tale

“Hachi: A Dog’s Tale” Behind the Scenes:

In the scene, Parker’s wife, Cate (Joan Allen), reminds the family that the dog is only a temporary guest. In real life, Joan is as classy and feminine as one can be.

Few people know that Richard is an accomplished pianist, so it was natural that they decided to have professor Parker teach music.
