I've had the good fortune to meet both Clint Eastwood and Robin Williams. Clint I actually talked to for a short while. Very nice man but on the shy side. Extremely intelligent. Ego was almost normal. Robin I only talked to for seconds at a time. I'm a huge comedy club fan and would frequently see him outside waiting for his set. He really did talk a mile a minute, especially on Coke. Another genuinely nice guy, at least back then.

Not sure if I would want to spent a whole day with any actor/actress after living with a woman who had grown up with a theater actress as a mother. I also have friends/neighbors/acquaintances who have Broadway and/or movie connections. They can be a little demanding with respect to attention getting. Like playing catch with various fruits and vegetables while grocery shopping. This was a common habit of my old girlfriend's parents. Not a family tradition I wanted to get involved with while getting out of the Minneapolis winters and trying to grocery shop.
I e-mailed a lot of actors/actresses in my 224 613 Project. That's the one to force a dialog about practical materials for survivors/victims of crimes between librarians and victim/witness providers. I had started working on this in January of 1991 after figuring out that my days at the University of Minnesota Law Library were very numbered because of internal politics. I had been introduced as the WESTLAW cataloger at the American Association of Law Libraries convention in Reno, Nevada in the Summer of 1989. This also brought back in a very heavy rush my experiences with the 2-24-1976 murder investigation and aftermath of Michelle Mitchell. She had been the daughter of my then Earl Wooster High School teacher Mrs. Barbara Mitchell. The case is re-open as of December 2014.
Anyway, I suppose I would like to meet some of the various actors/actresses I had sent so many e-mails to as well as George Clooney who one of my correspondents had claimed she was dating. She was a Dallas actress who just might have been on a fantasy trip in her head. I did get an e-mail from someone claiming to be George Clooney. I would like to find out if Vanessa D. was pulling my leg or she really had some dates with George Clooney @ 2003.
Also I would like to meet some of the actors/actresses work which I really admire. First among them would be Reese Witherspoon and Matthew McConaughey. No, I did not e-mail these two at all in my 224 613 Project. Not sure though given my experiences with my ex-girlfriend in Minnesota and the uncaught vegetables and stuff on the grocery aisle floor, I would want to spent the whole day with them as long as I did not have to catch any tomatoes, cucumbers, heads of lettuce, etc.
If you see me coming into a Villages' Publix with someone who looks vaguely familiar, TAKE COVER!
