I spent a lot of years working in and around Hollywood, and have met more than my share of famous people.

Sidney Portier - a powerful executive presence.

Michael Douglas - a real gent and very down to earth.

George Burns - the same guy you know from the movies.

Tim Allen - he’s the ‘tool guy’ in real life.

Cher - she really is a bitch. No lie.

Alex Haley - I damn near ran him over (his fault).

Alan Alda - flightly. Spacey.

Tom Cruise - a regular guy, believe it or not.

Chick Corea - calm, masterful presence. Like an ancient seer.

Freddie Stone - genuine, generous, open. Offered to teach me guitar.

Annie Potts - served me homemade cookies in her kitchen. A real sweetie.

John Anderson - served me lemon pie in *his* kitchen! An awesome spirit.

Leah Remini - a sweet teenager when I met her.

Lisa Marie Presley - withdrawn, quiet. Seemed unsure of herself.

Norman Whitfield - royal presence, but a gentleman.

Todd Bridges - punk kid braggart. Full of himself.

Robin Trower - a deep, wizened soul, and a real gent.

Portier and Corea alone would make a great list   :-)
