MEETING RONNIE MILSAP ON THE FINAL TOUR


        The Florida Film Festival happens every year and special guests are invited with a Q & A after with the respected star. When I mentioned to some of my friends I was planning to meet BOB BALABAN , most looked at me and said" Who's That?" He had a small but memorable part in Midnight Cowboy with Jon Voight where Voight takes his watch. He later had larger roles in CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, GOSFORD PARK and recently in MONUMENT MEN. He wears his rim eyeglasses as if they were a part of him since birth and has a style of acting that is so different from all others.

      Two of us were waiting for him and when he appeared there was no mistaking of who he was as we approached him. He smiled and there are people who truly glow with kindness and he is in that category.

     He patiently waited as we took our pictures with him and signed a few autographs with no hesitation. He even mentioned that it was his pleasure to do so and even asked his wife to wait a minute until we had the picture. He thanked us as we did him also and got into his car off to the festival. We have said it before, there are some wonderful people who are actors who appreciate their fans which only makes our allegiance to them even stronger. He is as smart as he is charming, so never miss a chance to meet this great star.
