While having dinner with our very close friend John this summer at the Hotel del Coronado, we discovered David Carradine, his wife and daughter having dinner just two or three tables down. It really added to the evening, though I have no idea what he has done since his Kung-Fu days.
Our son Ron works in Technical Production at Laxson Auditorium in Chico and in that capacity has met many stars, some of whom he has spent several hours with. The first one I remember him mentioning is Lilly Tomlin. This year, he has some great stories to tell about his afternoon with Bill Cosby.
And finally, my wife spent Friday night playing poker at a casino. On my way over to get a glass of wine, I noticed that the chairs next to her had just been taken by a man and woman. I leaned over to my wife and jokingly whispered "so you're playing poker with Danny Bonaduce, eh?" to which she replied "Yes, isnt that weird?" I laughed and walked over to the bar...but wait...that wasn't the reaction I had expected from her. So I got my wine and walked back. It WAS Danny Bonaduce!! And yes, he acts pretty much as one would imagine he would act.
We're not real big star followers, yet it is still a rush to run into them. Next time you see me, ask and I'll share the small glimpses we've had into the lives of David, Lilly, Bill and Danny.
