Writer's Block: Brush with stardom
Mar. 17th, 2010 05:23 am[Error: unknown template qotd]
As a child I met Walt Disney and Harry Belafonte - both before I was really old enough to understand how awesome it was. I'm pretty sure I met Mason Adams as a child - he was a friend and colleague of my mother - but I was too young to remember.
I recall meeting Whit Bissell (Time Tunnel) when I was about 8 or so - my mom was briefly married to his brother.
In 1965 or thereabouts, I was with my father when he was filming "Blue". I had the opportunity of spending a day with Ricardo Montalban and Jimmy Westerfield out in the Utah deserts hunting for arrowheads and potshards. My memory of Mr. Montalban was that he was warm, friendly, gracious and supremely human. We visited with some friends of his in the Monticello area... I wish only that I had a clearer memory of the encounter.
In 1974 I met William Shatner at a PPB (Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters) dinner I had gone to with my father. I was an avid Star Trek fan, so nothing else need be said about how cool I thought that was.
Other than that, I can't recall bumping into any official "celebrities" by happenstance.
