Expand how? Let's see...Cary Grant and John Forsythe were both involved with Hollywood Park management during the Marge Everett era. I have always loved Thoroughbred horses and have been peripherally involved in the sport most of my life. I met those two gentlemen (and they were gentlemen) while attending private handicapping sessions at the track. Even the aging Grant was a very handsome, charming man. And John Forsythe could not have been nicer.

I met Charlton Heston at a private Republican fundraiser. He also was aging at the time and was somewhat bent over due to an old back injury. But he was just wonderful. I miss him and miss his star power in Republican politics.

I've met lots of famous people in the Thoroughbred racing industry, and in politics. For example, I met Darrell Issa at a reception during a CA Republican convention. It was when he first ran for congress. Talked to him for quite awhile about his positions on various issues.

I met Diane Watson and Maxine Waters when Gil Garcetti was sworn in for the first time as LA County DA. Waters is even dumber and nastier in person if you can believe that. And Watson helped stoke the Rodney King riot, then leveraged that to win a Congressional seat. Miserable people,those two.
