The Terrible Catsafterme

There are times when I literally have no idea who I’m talking to when I meet a celebrity – and that often leads to a pleasant surprise. Case in point: Steven Bauer. He was set to appear at the Chiller Theatre show on October 27, 2012, and I knew from a cursory search of his career that he had played a major role in the 1983 Al Pacino film Scarface. In fact this was his first major film role. At that point I stopped researching him and just added him to my ‘maybe’ list. Read the rest of this entry »

As far as 1980’s movie entertainment goes, there are certainly better comedies than Weekend at Bernie’s, but I sincerely can’t think of many that generate as many constant belly laughs. I had already gone out of my way to meet two of the main cast members and have them sign a photo from the film (you can see the first one here). In both cases, I also went out of my way to have them write what I would consider to be ‘classic’ lines of dialogue from the movie. Read the rest of this entry »

It was exciting when I met Paul Michael Glaser back in October of 2011. He was of course the former half of the 70’s TV copy show Starsky & Hutch. Naturally I thought it would be beyond cool if I were ever to get the opportunity to meet the other half, David Soul. I had my doubts that this would ever happen as I had never heard of him doing any appearances, and the fact that he lived in England. Glaser however must have had all of the confidence in the world. We didn’t mention it, but he left a very nice area on the photo that seemed like the prime location fo have Soul sign if the chance should ever arise. Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s the story…of two young ladies…who liked to hang out with our favorite clan…Even though they really were…never Bradys…I’ll get them when I can. Yes my love of all things Bradys has extended from the kids in the original series, to the fake actresses who replaced some of the girls, to the spin-off series, to the re-tooled films, and now to the supporting cast. To have starred in an episode of The Brady Bunch makes you a desirable commodity in my estimation. Read the rest of this entry »

…not to be confused with the Backyardigans in any way, shape, or form. These are a pair of actors who took the lead in the short-lived but immensely popular sci-fi television series Battlestar Galactica that ran one season from 1978-1979. Like many things in the entertainment realm from that era, I wasn’t quite old enough to actually be interested in watching the show. But what I do remember is that it was somewhat of a pop culture phenomenon of the late 1970’s, its cast members permeating my copies of 16 Magazine that I bought for the KISS articles. And being a collector of trading cards, there were several from this series that worked their way into my collection. Read the rest of this entry »
