Scramble for ‘Street’ time

Jaded New Yorkers turned into star-struck wannabes when given a chance to appear in “Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps.” Peggy Siegal, the publicist on Oliver Stone‘s original movie 23 years ago, writes in Avenue how her society friends jostled to be extras on the new film and elbowed for speaking roles. Eagle-eyed viewers will spot (unless they’re cut) Kelly Klein, Julia Koch, Donald Marron, Joan Juliet Buck, Jean Pigozzi, Yanna Avis, Felicia Taylor, Hamish Bowles and Amy Fine Collins. When Graydon Carter was invited to appear as an extra, he held out for a line. Siegal reveals that Charlie Sheen was flown in to reprise his role in one scene. And Sylvia Miles, who played a Linda Stein-like real estate broker in the original, also has a cameo. Donald Trump advises Michael Douglas in a barbershop to get a “comb-over” like his own complicated ‘do. Gekko replies, “No thanks, Donald, I’m a gel man.”
