There are a lot of celebrity stories but few about those who were behind the scenes and whose contributions were not recognized. Your Dad sounds like a hard worker and he was associated with a lot of greats and near-greats (and in the case of Mr. Young, fallen-greats). <br /><br />Still, it's your life and you get to chose what to share. We can only sit and hope that you will share with us.<br /><br />I kiss your hand, little girl (no tongue, that would really be gross).Chevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10641316052832401975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-39335047811554169092011-10-18T21:00:53.411-07:002011-10-18T21:00:53.411-07:00Lea -- hang around me, and you'll learn all so...Lea -- hang around me, and you'll learn all sorts of useless information. :-D<br /><br />Billy Crystal -- king of the Oscar hosts!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230915556455020371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-27964084163481703602011-10-18T20:52:03.584-07:002011-10-18T20:52:03.584-07:00Richard Simmons I've heard of.

They got into a bit of a tiff and Mike just sort of looked puzzled with it all, as in "What is this all about?" Of course, they were speaking in Hungarian. My dad was Hungarian though born in this country, his parents came over from Hungary. He told me later that he understood what they were saying to each other and it wasn't very nice.Bobbie Jonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-7615819746697128632011-10-18T07:52:22.560-07:002011-10-18T07:52:22.560-07:00I know one current actor is a really nice guy.

As they were flying back to Jackson, he asked the guy if he knew who he was. The guy did say he looked familiar.

Mark Evanier (who has lots of great stories at his website, too!) quoted Vincent Price: "It amuses me that people think I'm the villains I play, and that Danny Kaye is a nice man." :-D<br /><br />On the other hand, there are gratifying tales-- like the one Erica told about Harvey Korman at her dad's funeral-- that reveal fine hearts behind fine talent.<br /><br />And speaking of Harvey and "Blazing Saddles," I heartily recommend that everyone enjoy it again with the Mel Brooks commentary turned on-- if for some bizarre reason you've missed that!Dave Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11417833347179495042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-31827690659251928322011-10-17T18:17:34.920-07:002011-10-17T18:17:34.920-07:00Tonight was 80's night, so they are dancing to...Tonight was 80's night, so they are dancing to hits of the 80's.

I liked Larry Hooper, Aladdin, and also the Lennon Sisters. Oh, and Joanne Castle and her playing the piano. She was really good at it. I know. So I'm weird. I can't help it if I liked the show. I also liked Gezele (sp?)McKinsey, the singer. I got to see her at Harrah's. We went to Harrah's a lot so I got to see many entertainers. How about Eddy Peabody, the banjo player? Jack Benny, who could really play his Strad well enough for Carnegie Hall. I won't bore you anymore.

When I was 9, we went to Harrah's in Tahoe and saw the Lawrence Welk show. Now I did not particularly care for Joe Finniy (Sp?) and it wasn't so much him as it was the music he sang. We were at a table right against the stage and I was sitting right at the stage. Guess who sang to me? Yep. Joe. When he was done, he leaned down and kissed me. I sure wasn't prepared for that. I had a better view of him after that and I did begin to appreciate his voice.Bobbie Jonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-74680568298331800612011-10-17T14:54:56.899-07:002011-10-17T14:54:56.899-07:00Kitty -- thanks!Kitty -- thanks!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230915556455020371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-90319839265794874682011-10-17T14:54:43.157-07:002011-10-17T14:54:43.157-07:00Karyn -- oh, my freaking God.
