Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea

I’m 14 years old and sneak onto the 20^th Century Fox lot to get autographs. On the submarine set of this show, the Captain, David Hedison is giving me his signature when the guest star of the week spots me and says "Hey kid, will you help me with my lines?" I say "Sure." It’s a shitload of technical jargon, and I understand why he’s having such a hard time memorizing it. We run through it over and over.

Finally, it’s time for him to go on, he thanks me, and I ask for his autograph, even though I have no idea who he is. After reading his name, I STILL have no idea who he is.Years later, in the middle of a move, I discover my childhood autograph book, which has remarkably survived. Leafing through it, right after David Hedison, is the autograph of the man I had helped 30 years earlier, John Cassavetes.

MORAL OF THE STORY

1. Never throw anything away

2. Always get everyone’s autograph, even if you’ve never heard of them.
