Thanks! I once walked right past the amazing Fred Astaire. In the early 1980s (it was the 50th anniversary of The Academy Awards and the town was full of movie stars). I was in Los Angeles and I needed to change a plane ticket so I wandered into The Beverly Hills Hotel because I knew United had a desk in their lobby. I was scanning the "scene" for celebs and realized I had just walked past FRED!!! He was casually but ever so elegantly leaning on his golf bag, cap pulled down over his eyes. But my eagle eye detected that famous jaw! No one seemed to notice him but me. I did not bother him. I simply said aloud, as I walked past him, "Oh dear, I forgot something, I have to go back" as an excuse to walk past him again and stare real hard at the living legend before me. Again, he was in meditation mode and at least I can say Fred Astaire listened to me. Ha ha.
Do do do do do do donuts! Great bit of collage terpsichore!
