While waiting tables to make ends meet, Matthew met casting director Don Phillips while enjoying some drinks at the local Hyatt's bar one evening.
Now face-to-face, they looked into each other's eyes. Lucky twitched some toilet water and saliva off her head. Now, with tears of pain turning to tears of joy, Dad gently removed Lucky's torso and head from his mouth. "He started to give Lucky mouth-to-mouth resuscitation." After ten exhales into the tiny bird, "that's when we heard, coming from inside my father's mouth, a small chirp. "He opened his mouth wide and slowly put Lucky into it until the bottom half of her wings and her tailfeathers were all that was outside it," Matthew reveals. Tears dripping off his cheeks, Dad reached with both hands into the bottom of the bowl and gently cradled Lucky out." What Jim did next for his beloved bird is, well, wild. There, floating in circles in the bottom of it, was Lucky. "I ran to the back and found Dad on his knees leaning over the toilet. "Seconds later, I heard Dad in the back of the trailer, 'Oh god, oh god, noooo, Lucky,'" Matthew writes. One late afternoon, both McConaughey men returned home to find Lucky missing. Well, his dad and a pet cockatiel named Lucky who was allowed to roam freely about the trailer during the day. In the summer of 1979, while his parents were in the middle of their second divorce, Matthew lived with his father in a double-wide trailer on the outskirts of Longview, Tex.
