well at least Larry shook your hand... beats being passed by by woody...
and Jonathan winters was from Dayton Ohio and in one my fave films-Its
amad mad mad mad world..he was insanely funny and to even think of him
for a moment craks me up.. scenes with Phil silvers and atthe gas
station scene and when he argues about taxes in the film.. are classic
genius thanks for shareing your memories.

I guess I would be best described as a MOPO lurker. I do not
personally collect or sell movie memorabilia but several years ago I
had occasion to sell several lots of lobby cards, press books and
stills for a friend who had worked as an usher in the 60's and needed
to part with the moderate collection he had acquired. I joined this
group to help with those sales and subsequently stayed on the list due
to the various discussions, observations, rants and other
communications that often prove to be very ah, interesting.
I had two (that I recall) encounters with celebrities. We had moved
to Los Angeles in 1959 and in 1960 my parents and I attended a church
on West Hollywood Blvd. After Sunday services I remember my folks
talking to an interesting gentleman who turned out to be Jonathan
Winters. I was about 13 or 14 and found his stories and sound effects
to be quite interesting for a grown up. I probably saw him on and off
for about a year and recall that he and his wife were both very nice
people.
My second encounter, and more interesting to me at that time,
occurred around 1962. A buddy from high school and I went to a
Saturday evening screening of a Three Stooges movie in Glendale, CA.
The movie was, I believe, "The Three Stooges Meet Hercules". As luck
would have it the Stooges appeared live on stage just before the movie
started. Moe, Larry and the last Curly (De Rita?). After about a 10
minutes of dialog with some slapstick they departed, leaving the
theater by way of the main isles. Since I was at an end seat I had the
opportunity to shake Larry's hand as he went by.
There you have it. Perhaps not as exciting as some of the other
responses to this query but my contribution non the less.

Just wondering who among the Mopo membership has had any sort of
relationship with movie stars. In the Summer of 1970 I spent a few
days drinking with Roddy McDowall in a pub in Kew, London (he drank
pints of Bloody Marys). Liam Neeson lived round the corner from me
for many years and my wife and his sister were very close friends -
she cuddled him as a baby. Who did (do) you know?
