Uncomfortable with fame
"I love Kristen Stewart. The Twilight Movies. Oh my God! She is coming to Eddy Street! I need to check this out!" she shrieked, also hoping for a glimpse of Spider-Man actress Kirsten Dunst.
Heather Mitchell, dressed specially in a straw hat and ribbon, admitted to "sneaking around the corner" during breaks from her work as a civil servant.
She jokingly said that she hoped Salles would drive by in his limousine, notice her and put her in his movie.
Marc Gravelle, owner of Milles et Unes Frites (1001 French Fries) was delighted that producers selected his chip shop for a Hollywood makeover to appear in the film, if only for a few seconds as part of a backdrop.
He enjoyed doing business with Hollywood - admitting to having been "well compensated" - but he said winning the regional french fry competition was a bigger honour.
At 8am the next day, at the Taverne Montcalm, on Rue Montcalm - close to the previous day's filming - designers are working quickly to transform the tavern into a Denver bar called The Red Shade.
Charles Seguin, youthful enthusiastic co-owner with his father, Jacques and brother Philippe, were lucky.
The On the Road team thought the bar was a goldmine with its old hardwood floors, vintage bar, pool table and paraphernalia dating back decades - there was little work for them to do.
They wanted to use it for for key scenes involving leads actors Garret Hedlund and Sam Riley.
Charles admits that initially the family was sceptical and wondered if the Hollywood interest was "for real". While he was quickly sold on the idea, his father was not. And his word was final.
