I lived in Los Angeles for 40 years and met numerous Hollywood types. Only a scant handful stood out. Most were meh...just people, not particularly striking or interesting. The small number who stood out (each for a different reason) were Cary Grant, John Forsythe, Bo Derek, Charlton Heston, Muhammad Ali, and Katherine Ross. I met my fair share of politicians too, and all of them were useless people.
“.....Academy Awards continue to become more and more irrelevant............
Noting more than a bunch of arrogant people patting themselves on the back. I could care less.
Now, Katherine Ross and Bo Derek I would love to meet! Once ‘met’ Jacqueline Bisset outside Harrod’s In London. She was very gracious. Beautiful too.
Would love for you to expand on your experiences!
Ron Howard filmed a movie at my high school, Cotton Candy.
I don’t like his politics, but he seemed like a nice family guy. I ate lunch with his mom, and she was very nice.
The only actor I did not like was Charlie Martin Smith from American Graffiti. He was very full of himself. The other actors were fun. They would go hangout in the band room and sing. We’d go join them.
Of couse that was back in the 70s. So much has changed since then.
