Years ago, I bought a CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON onesheet at a poster fair
in San Francisco. The whole event was the lousiest show I ever attended, with
virtually NO visitors, and a number of bored celebrities.
One of the 'stars' around was Ben Chapman, one of the two guys who wore the
creature suit. Ben heard about the poster sale (most likely it was by far the
most expensive item that changed hands that weekend), and he immediately
offered to sign the poster.
Matter of factly, the poster already HAD his signature, apparently from years
ago. I pointed this out to him, but that didn't irritate him in the least:
Instead he suggested he could use a GOLD PEN this time... Obviously, I had to
refuse, but it was not easily done.
