His family home, a sprawling southern plantation called "Longwood", near
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is located near an estate called "Oak Alley",
which was featured in the Tom Cruise film
Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994).
Coincidentally, Cruise was one of his favorite actors. Longwood was also the guest home of Clark Gable and Yvonne DeCarlo for their stay in Louisiana while filming Band of Angels.
