I saw Ava Gardner on several occasions while I was living in Spain. She lived there as well. I also saw Ann Margaret in Madrid around the same time I saw John Wayne and Kirk Douglas. I think they were over there filming Circus World.
I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito in San Francisco when I was up there visiting one of my sons. They were filming Junior.
I have seen Fess Parker several times (he lives in this area) and had my picture taken with him on one occasion at his winery.
I also saw Chuck Yeagar and had pictures taken with him when he was flying at the air show at Edwards AFB, CA. He's the one who broke the sound barrier Oct.14th 1947 over Rogers Dry Lake in Southern CA. in a Bell x-1 rocket plane. If you have never seen the movie THE RIGHT STUFF then your missing out on one of the best movies ever made. It's all about that time era and the coming of the space age, Kennedy, his assination, Johnson and all. A great line up of stars and a movie once seen you will want to see over and over. Promise! It a long movie as well. |
I also remember three more.
I was getting ready to board a plane in LA and was in line behind the comedian Ron White, and as I was going thru security I noticed he had left his belt in the dish so I just took it and walk fast to catch up to him. He didn't even say thank you. He's very rude. On the plane he just drank and drank.
When I was dining room manager at the Officers Club her on Vandenberg A.F.B. we had a very special dinner for some important people and two of them were Dick Cheney and Colan Powell. VERY nice folks. We have always called Mr. Cheney the Silver Fox.
Then I got to see Allan Jackson in concert. Wasn't impressed at all.
