Was Bruce Dern there? I heard they were attempting a "Laverne & Shirley" reunion alongside the "Twilight Zone" reunion but didn't hear about the rest.
And, no, I wasn't able to go. Were you able to make it?
Hey Curt, a belated THANKS for the fantastic videos you filmed and edited. Your voiceovers are perfect and your vlog on the event truly captured the essence of the fun and funny times we had at this all-you-can-eat celebrity buffet. Can't wait to work with you again soon!
P.S.: Kathy Najimy crack corn, and I still don't care.
Hey it's the Fonz! Yep I saw him and wow Mrs Cunningham was looking a lot better, and seemed to be gracefully aging a ot better than many of the others that had the bodies of 20 years old but if I'm being honest (and a little mean) not the faces. MEOW!
20 year old faces can't realistically last another 50 years. It's just a shame so many people in that industry cave in to the unrealistic expectation that they should.
There was one woman there (no idea who she was - possibly someone associated with the Bond films??) who looked like her face was made out of putty.
I thought I recognized Tanya Roberts. She must be 97% plastic to have survived this long looking like she did back in the early '80s. Can you have your face freeze-dried?
HA! Hey, my gaydar is spotty at best anymore, so don't feel too bad. Besides, thanks to a lot of straight guys adopting the "metrosexual" stuff, it's thrown a monkey wrench into the mix for a lot of us.
Fortunately, rainbow stickers on car bumpers are still just ours.
lol this is a free for all! Well, it certainly looks that way! Conventions are fun, I attend MegaCon every year in Orlando.... it's sort of a combination Comics/gaming/movie star convention. I saw Chekov there as well (he just beams all over the place lol). And I met Noel Neil, who was Lois Lane on the old Superman tv show (she's like, er, really old), the entire cast of LOST IN SPACE, and blah blah. Lotsa stars. Seen so many now I rarely get starstruck. But it's still fun. Great video! :)
They ARE fun events - or CAN be at least. I'm still convinced based on the last two I've attended that it hinges on unpredictable factors like who you go with, who is there and what their mood or attitude is in regards to being approached, etc..
Noel Neil... she must be in her 80s by now, right? Wow. And I think if I met Bill Mummy, instead of focusing on the Lost In Space stuff, I'd probably chat him up about the song "Fish Heads"
That looked like lots of fun. I used to go to similar events at the Beverly Garland Hotel.
Snyder from One Day at a Time, right? I saw him in a production of The Pajama Game once back in the 80s. It was so funny, because he had star billing but played a very small role. He got tons of applause when he came on stage. It was so silly.
Let us know when the video you shot is edited and up for viewing.
Chris just got the last of the files from me so hopefully he'll start posting soon. My guess is he'll do write-ups about some of the event on his site first then post the videos to the YouTube channel and embed them.
And it figures they would hype his involvement in the production, although I agree it's silly if the performer in question has a somewhat small role.
ROCK!!! What a cool event, Curt!! I worked film festivals and absolutely LOVED it especially because we get to see the celebs up close and personal. :) What do you use for your voiceovers & narratives? So clear. Anyway, I recognized several and can't recall names or shows! *cries*
The VO stuff is just me talking into my camera then converting it into an MP3 with Adobe Audition (formerly known as "Cool Edit") so I can drop it into the audio track in post.
Yeah, the cool thing about this is that seeing them and meeting some helps bring all of it down to earth in a weird but satisfying way. I might have to attend a few more of these before I fully understand why that is.
My theory is that celebs are seemingly unreachable or untouchable with these glamorous and behind-the-scenes-mysterious lives so when we get to see and talk to them out of character, in our environment and they become more "real". I hear you, Curt.
On that note, Danny Trejo is an amazing person IRL. Met him at the Phoenix Film Festival and he is a very cool, kind-hearted family man. With soft skin, by the way. He seems so rough but I kissed his cheek and... nope! LOL!
Don't know Shneider? Who don't know Pat Harrington? He's one of the TV comedy greats going back to the original Steve Allen Tonight Show.
Now, I'm not even going to mention which of the former celebs that you dismiss was a friend of mine back in High School, but I was glad to see her looking well (and it wasn't former Laker Girl Jennilee Harrison).
Well, I enjoyed this very much. Let me know when the next one is and I'll go with you guys.
And, okay, you can't be talking about Kathy Najimi because I didn't actually show her, so... Susan Olsen??
Although in my defense, I didn't dismiss her. I was merely having a surreal moment where it was hard to wrap my head around seeing them all in person at one location like that.
Anyway, please tell me that by the time you both were in high school she wasn't still getting teased by that mofo Buddy Hinton!
OMG Fonzie and Mrs C and the Brady's! Wow i want to go to that NOW! See any Mash people? Oh this had to be fun!I hope you got some photos with a few! Fun Fun Time!!
No MASH cast members from what I could see but there was an entire corner of the room where Chris and I didn't even bother to wander towards. A lot of his time was spent going from one person to the next trying to coordinate when we could do his interviews with them.
But a MASH cast reunion at one of these things would be an EXCELLENT idea.
Ps. they were charging people to pose for pics with them, so I didn't bother. I'm too cheap for that stuff.
Yep, that was Winkler. He was constantly surrounded so Chris didn't even bother trying to get an interview with him. Donny Most was nice enough to chat him up for a while though.
No doubt! There was a whole row of familiar faces that I did that with, but since I wasn't into either the James Bond or Friday the 13th movies, some of the faces I was never able to place.
OMG - that is so cool!! You are so lucky to get to see all those celebs in real life. I knew almost all of them - including the Schneider reference. I had no idea stuff like this was going on (naive - I know) but definitely worth exploring going to one of these. Made me feel younger just watching!!
Danny, I can relate. Seeing the "Bradys" age along with the rest of us (and gracefully at that, from what I can tell) was a nice way of being reminded that getting older is a good thing.
I think there is a common misconception that all actors who appeared in popular series television are financially set for life. These people, bless them, are making a living by signing 8X10s for ten dollars a pop. However, they really have achieved immortality! And how could you not get a buzz by just being in the same room with them?
There's also the aspect of not looking as young as they did when they were on whatever show(s) made them recognizable, so I've heard people at these things blurt out really rude remarks like, "you look so much older now." Honestly, ya gotta wonder what's wrong with some people sometimes. Ugh. But these actors/performers know that going in and have built up a very tough outer layer to contend with it.
Actually, you and Susan Olsen look a lot alike now IMO. You two even have the same (or similar) hair style... and once upon a time even the same first name.
LOL
Ps. She's also very fond of cats - sure you two aren't secretly related?
LOL - yeah, but I'm sorta relieved that it wasn't nearly to the extent that I would have been several years ago. Seeing enough of these people in person brings it all back down to earth in a healthy way, I think.
We didn't talk to him at all, although he was in the car ahead of us as we tried to exit the parking lot. Turns out the pay station was closed so Winkler waved to us to go to the other exit. So I said, "well if the Fonz tells us to move, WE MOVE."
Then at the other exit, Chris couldn't find the time-stamp thing to give the attendant and I joked that the Fonz was gonna beat us up if we kept him waiting behind us.
This was the first event where I saw so many CASTS gathered. The event's been a regular thing for years but it's under new ownership now and seems to be way better produced.
oh and the conceit of my comment "Henry Winkler looks like my father..." hahaha! he's about the same age as me...no one ever thinks they age, just everyone else does!
Actually, I'd be curious to go to the Australian equivalent to see how many people I'd recognize or remember. As someone from the UK pointed out in his comment, not all of these people were ever well known beyond U.S. borders.
She really does look great, yeah. She was actually lined up next to several other "Bond girls" from films-gone-by. She and Maud Adams looked the best, IMO.
HMMM .. Ok I gotta confess,, see your thinking Bond.. I'm thinking 'Beastmaster' from like the early 80's. OH man.. thanks alot.. you just reminded me how ancient I am!! :(
There's a clip of someone interviewing David Carradine (Kung Fu) at one of the previous events. It's a riot to watch because Carradine actually does appear to be a little burned out. In fact, the interviewer seemed to be rudely interrupting him in the middle of a crossword puzzle.
I of course remember Schneider!!! Some of the others I recognized but a lot of them I didn't. I didn't recognize any of the 4 women from 2:52 onward.
And if you'll get a job filming men's physicals at the doctor you'll have a perfect opportunity to turn your head and cough and nobody will be the wiser:)
Honestly, if Chris hadn't asked me to come with and bring the camera, I wouldn't have gone because approaching any of them that way feels awkward to me. But I'm glad I went.
Same here. And when you see them in person as an adult, you realize just how far back on the timeline it all is. A little scary but not in a totally bad way.
I thoroughly enjoy your professionalism, Curt..Your videos always make me smile. I remember all the stars I saw that you filmed..thats because Im an old fart.
So other clips of it are already live. HA! Too funny. I knew it would happen. Too many people had their tiny digital cameras going all over the place.
I think they have this thing every 3 months, so there's always another opportunity around the corner.
They were shy one Marcia-Marcia-Marcia, and one Jan, but they made up for it with a Cousin Oliver (Robbie Rist does not look the same...I wouldn't have spotted him at all).
I need a camera man the next convention i go to i get to excited when i meet childhood heros and kinda blank on hitting the record button.Great video too.
Thanks! I was there on a media pass thanks to Chris so I didn't get hassled about the camera, but there seemed to be random objection. Shelley Hack's assistant was barking at people who wanted to snap photos without first paying in cash. In fact, that assistant was a rude little snot.
Yeah some of the ppl can be asshats the last convention i went to they didn't to much care if you took video but i didn't take much because there were so many ppl you couldn't get any good shots.Though i almost took gary colemans picture there but he looked very sick and i felt bad about it and ended up not doing it.
The entier room was a big flashback, yeah! But it was a relief to know that a lot of them are actually still working and not just sitting back remembering some old acting gig.
Actually, not really. It was cool meeting Susan Olsen but I didn't feel all that star struck. Fortunately, YouTube has helped ween me off a lot of that celebrity following, though apparently not 100% if I attended this.
I don't know = it looked like a lot of fun to me. Sort of pathetic but given what the big shots are doing to the B list actors, you really can't blame them, can you?
No, ya can't. It's a brutal industry and even when you're at the height of whatever celebrity you might be enjoying, there's not just the lack of a guarantee that it will last, you're actually guaranteed that it WON'T last. So who can fault someone like Shelley Hack for showing up to sign autographs and collect $10 or whatever for each one.
Some of it was kinda surreal, but definitely fun. The last one I attended before this was 11 years ago, actually. In fact, I met my friend Chris at one of them. And apparently the event is under new ownership now, which makes sense because I could see a lot of improvements this time around.
Oh wow, the lady from Newheart is still kicking around. That's cool. Newheart was a pretty awesome show. I always imagined she'd be the 'cool grandmother' by now. I'm glad you got to go to this event. It seems right up your alley!
At the time that "Newhart" (the one where he's in Vermont) was showing, I had no idea that Julia Duffy (Stephanie) was 39. I assumed she was in her 20's. I did like the ending though, with Bob waking up next to Suzanne Pleshette as if from the old The Bob Newhart Show. I just looked up Julia Duffy...she's 58. OMG I'm getting old. I DO NOT LIKE THIS.
I saw da Fonz!! Amen to your last sentiment brother!! Now get the hell over and watch my latest video!! WHICH I DEDICATED TO YOU you good-for-nothing-non-watcher-of-my-damn-channel!! :P
Way cool video!!!! I would have expected Snyder to have been really tall too (he sure did look that way on One Day At A Time). Ah, Jaclyn Smith was there too, she's still so very pretty. Great video, even the cough!! I've already run off to subscribe to your friends channel. :)
Curt did any of the old TV celbs jump up and down in giddy excitement when they realised they were speaking the Curt (Yes THE Curt) Lord of the Dance and King of the YouTube Colab?
I would love to go to that show...

There's a clip of someone interviewing David Carradine (Kung Fu) at one of the previous events. It's a riot to watch because Carradine actually does appear to be a little burned out. In fact, the interviewer seemed to be rudely interrupting him in the middle of a crossword puzzle.
LULZ!

I have to admit that would be thrilled to go to an event like that. Thanks for sharing Curt!

I of course remember Schneider!!! Some of the others I recognized but a lot of them I didn't. I didn't recognize any of the 4 women from 2:52 onward.
And if you'll get a job filming men's physicals at the doctor you'll have a perfect opportunity to turn your head and cough and nobody will be the wiser:)

LMAO!
Okay, it's not entirely out of the question that I'd man a camera for such a thing, then again I've never thought to go looking for the opportunity.
Until now, that is...!
OhCurt 2 years ago
Oh, btw, the women from 2:52 onward are Susan Olsen (Brady Bunch) , Adrienne King (Friday the 13th), Jenilee Harrison and Tanya Roberts.
Now that I think of it, I have no idea why I didn't put their names at the bottom of the screen...?
OhCurt 2 years ago
Cool event but as I am English I only reconised The Fonz!:)

LOL, he was one of the most recognizable people there I think. Even more so with the other Happy Days cast there beside him.

Wow, so many people I watched religiously as a kid, I think I would have been so star struck to talk to henry winkler.
Lucky you!

Honestly, if Chris hadn't asked me to come with and bring the camera, I wouldn't have gone because approaching any of them that way feels awkward to me. But I'm glad I went.

So other clips of it are already live. HA! Too funny. I knew it would happen. Too many people had their tiny digital cameras going all over the place.

I need a camera man the next convention i go to i get to excited when i meet childhood heros and kinda blank on hitting the record button.Great video too.
bearchay889 2 years ago
Thanks! I was there on a media pass thanks to Chris so I didn't get hassled about the camera, but there seemed to be random objection. Shelley Hack's assistant was barking at people who wanted to snap photos without first paying in cash. In fact, that assistant was a rude little snot.
OhCurt 2 years ago
Yeah some of the ppl can be asshats the last convention i went to they didn't to much care if you took video but i didn't take much because there were so many ppl you couldn't get any good shots.Though i almost took gary colemans picture there but he looked very sick and i felt bad about it and ended up not doing it.
bearchay889 2 years ago
Looks like a smorgasbord of fun flashbacks. The Fonz still working his magic on the ladies I see. Fun stuff camera man.
2of6Solutions 2 years ago
The entier room was a big flashback, yeah! But it was a relief to know that a lot of them are actually still working and not just sitting back remembering some old acting gig.

With all of those old sitcom actors/actresses in one place you must have jizzed your pants a time or two.

LULZ!!
Actually, not really. It was cool meeting Susan Olsen but I didn't feel all that star struck. Fortunately, YouTube has helped ween me off a lot of that celebrity following, though apparently not 100% if I attended this.
:-)
OhCurt 2 years ago
I don't know = it looked like a lot of fun to me. Sort of pathetic but given what the big shots are doing to the B list actors, you really can't blame them, can you?
thizizliz 2 years ago
No, ya can't. It's a brutal industry and even when you're at the height of whatever celebrity you might be enjoying, there's not just the lack of a guarantee that it will last, you're actually guaranteed that it WON'T last. So who can fault someone like Shelley Hack for showing up to sign autographs and collect $10 or whatever for each one.
OhCurt 2 years ago
LOL I would totally be doing that if I lived there. I think the cameraman did pretty good and I bet it was a lot of fun to star gaze for a bit. ; )
capergirl1976 2 years ago
Some of it was kinda surreal, but definitely fun. The last one I attended before this was 11 years ago, actually. In fact, I met my friend Chris at one of them. And apparently the event is under new ownership now, which makes sense because I could see a lot of improvements this time around.
OhCurt 2 years ago
Oh wow, the lady from Newheart is still kicking around. That's cool. Newheart was a pretty awesome show. I always imagined she'd be the 'cool grandmother' by now. I'm glad you got to go to this event. It seems right up your alley!
P00P0STER0US 2 years ago
Yeah, I think she's in her mid 60s by now, but still kicking around.
:-)
Incidentally, I wish they'd release the remaining two seasons of Bob Newhart on DVD already. I'm getting antsy!
OhCurt 2 years ago
At the time that "Newhart" (the one where he's in Vermont) was showing, I had no idea that Julia Duffy (Stephanie) was 39. I assumed she was in her 20's. I did like the ending though, with Bob waking up next to Suzanne Pleshette as if from the old The Bob Newhart Show. I just looked up Julia Duffy...she's 58. OMG I'm getting old. I DO NOT LIKE THIS.
P00P0STER0US 2 years ago
I spotted her in an outdoor shopping mall once and thought, "just how old WAS she when she was on that show?"
Well, I guess that answers it.
Have to say, though, she still looked good.

I should have put names in the corner or something - not sure why I didn't now that we're on the topic...
That could have been Susen Olsen (Brady Bunch) that looked like Linda Hamilton. Lydia Cornell sorta looks like her too, I guess.
