Ironic

    On our many journeys we have the opportunity to meet some very special personalities and a story will arise that would make anyone smile. About a year ago the wonderful actress ALFRE WOODWARD was the guest narrator at Disney's annual CHRISTMAS PROCESSIONAL. She read the passages so wonderfully with the charm and grace she always delivers when you see her on the screen.  My wife and I were waiting hoping to have the chance of meeting her after the reading until we were approached by her assistant that she already left for dinner. She without saying anything noticed our disappointment and said "come with me".

      We followed her to the restaurant on Disney property where she was dining and told us to wait a while and she would be out. Not a few moments later Ms. Woodard interrupted her dinner and came out to greet us. She was Wonderful. Took a few minutes and chatted with us , took a picture and signed a couple of photos and on another She told us "That's Viola Davis" and smiled and told us that happens often. She was so grateful that we were fans and hoped to see us again. Well as stories go, we had an opportunity to meet VIOLA DAVIS after her narration at another Disney event. She was as stunning as good be and did not hesitate to stop and take pictures and sign some autographs for 3 of us waiting. Now the ironic thing was one of my good friends handed her a photo and she said" That's Alfre Woodward" and smiled. What are the chances that could happen and both actresses handle it with dignity and grace. I would jump at the chance to meet them again and will always be a great fan of all their dedication and work.

ACTORS JOHN ASHTON and LISA EILBACHER HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH IN HOLLYWOOD

By Unknown -
The Central Florida Film Festival was showing BEVERLY HILLS COP and showing up for a Q&A were John Ashton and Lisa Eilbacher two of the main stars who played along side Eddie Murphy. They sat on stage and spoked candidly about the movie and acting in general. I did not know Slyvester Stallone was the first choice and only John saw the finished project and only once. John spoke passionately that true acting is found on the stage as movies are always in the hands of the editors and Director. Personally never looked at it that way but it makes perfect sense. John mentioned that with several takes the one you might think was your best may end of the cutting floor with the final choice by the Director. Lisa spoke of her famous curls that many talked about and how much fun they all had during filming. Lisa spoke of her role in An Officer and a Gentleman and giving it up to raise a family. Now after the Q&A is when my faith in Hollywood returned. A few of us approach...

SENSELESS KILLING OF SINGER CHRISTINA GRIMMIE

By Unknown -
We were watching the championship Basketball game when breaking news of the shooting of singer Christina Grimmie flashed across the bottom of the screen on one of the local TV stations here in Orlando. Though I was not very familiar with Christina though I did remember her powerful performance in the VOICE competion which she placed a respectful 3rd. What I was truly familiar was the venue where this tragedy happen called the PLAZA LIVE. I have seen many shows there and have met even more acts after with most signing autographs and taking photos with all their different fans. This senseless shooting happened in the lobby with a meet and greet after her show where fans get the opportunity to mingle up close and personal. Most Meet and Greet opportunities can cost an arm and leg and usually is really there for the singers or groups to add more money into their pocket . I do believe Christina did not charge and was only there to thank her fans and show her appreciation to them. Though th...
