Oh, now we are talking about MOVIE STARS.

ooh, I must share some of my stories.

I was 24 years old. I was at Radio City Music Hall, and I ran into Milton Berle. All 6 feet 3 of him (maybe even taller). He was wearing a top hat, tie and tails.

I will never forget this.

I said "oh my god, Milton Berle", and he just laughed and tipped his hat.

I have also walked down the street with Sidney Poitier (I was 18) he was coming out of a health food restaurant (wearing a kind of fisherman hat on his head and it had all bait things hanging off of it),and I walked with him and I kept saying " DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE??"
Another girl recognized him, and grabbed his left arm. He was carrying two packages. I was on his right.

He just kept saying "hello, hello". Oh my god, I made a complete idiot of myself.

I also chased down Robert Horton (he was on the tv show Wagon Train). He was wearing an orange jump suit, it was on Park Avenue, and I scared the heck of him. He ran for his life.

I also was 10 feet away from Kirk Douglas (this was over 35 years ago). He wore a beautiful full length camel coat. It was breathtaking. And when you see that cleft in his chin up close, well, that made my day.

And for the kicker, there is also an actor in MY family.

Anybody ever see the tv show TAXI, with Tony Danza.

Remember, they all gathered at the bar/restaurant at the end of their workday??

Well, there was the same bartender in all the episodes. He would have a few lines. He had quite a few lines in the episode where Latka is mooning over his lost love Simka.

That bartender was my mom's first cousin, T J Castronova. (They called him Tommy, in the series). He also produced some episodes of Tales from the Darkside.

Wow, it all comes back when you make your memory kick in!!!!
