Oosyxxx mentioned something about his brush with fame, and I think we’ve done this before, but what is your brush with fame?
For me it’s been: When I was in the second grade, my teacher was married to a United States Senator, who was a senator while I was in her class.
I met Kernel Sanders when I was young and shook his hand. He gave me some balloons.
I met Dick Van Dyke and Jerry Van Dyke’s grandmother who was in a nursing home. She was about 92 and she had this autograph book where she got people’s autograph that she met. I signed her book.
Didn’t happen to me, but recently my friend was in Chicago and stumbled across where they were shooting the sequel to Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s twelve. He met Richard Gear and then when he was at the airport leaving, they were filming an episode of Airport, or something like that; it’s some new show for A&E and my friend was in the scene.
I’ve been in the little café’ where they shot a scene from the movie Cocoon.
Not much of a brush, but in the 70’s when Sonny and Cher had their TV show and were a big deal, I saw them in concert at a state fair. I was close to the stage. Who would think that Cher would still be sort of famous all these years later?
There are always one or two things that I forget about and I’ve forgotten this time, too.
I’ve been to the bar that Mary Ann on Gilligan’s Island used to visit when she had a home near here. They had her signed pictures all over the place.
Oh, Jeff Starr. I think it was The Bad News Bears, Breaking Training movie that was out when I met the kid who played the fat catcher for the team. His name was Jeff Starr. He lived near where I lived and I was working as an usher at a movie theater in a mall. He and his agent were there for the movie and Jeff and I went to the arcade in the mall to play some video games.
