Ron,
That was fantastic. This is why I love MOPO. It may get snarky on
occasion, but on the whole there are some wonderful life stories hidden in
the
recesses of many on board here that are every bit as good or better than

Wow! That story is VIVID.

David Carradine guest starred in one of the weirdest days of my
professional life. I was writing for the shortlived and best-forgotten
Heroes magazine, whose editors had ordered me to drive out to Warner
Bros to interview Carradine on the set of Kung Fu: The Movie. This was
either 1985 or '86.
Between Mel Brooks ( "That was my virgin-alarm. It's programmed to go off
before you do!") and Woody Allen ("Hey, don't knock masturbation! It's
sex with someone I love.") they could fill pages. What I find inspiring is
dialogue that just keeps rolling. And no one could deliver better

Certainly not with Bruce, Heritage, or any other consignor out there and a
