I read a column by Ebert where he describes being in a hotel elevator with Henny, and they get out at the lobby and there is a sign for some kid's Bar Mitzvah.
Henny tells Ebert to wait, and he goes in, finds the kid's father (who was a total stranger), and says, "I'll do 20 minutes of standup for $100"! I'm not sure what that says about Henny, but it's a cool story. Bruce On Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 3:29 PM, Tom A.
