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Lisa Marie Presley - withdrawn, quiet.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.
