Reunion - 1-12-09

In 1982, at the Magic Castle, I met an actor named Joseph Bologna. He said “you have a terrific act, I predict that you’re going to have a big career… and what I’d like to propose to you is…”

At the time Bologna was well-known because he was starring with Peter O’Toole in a great movie called “My Favorite Year,” as we talked, a couple of his fans interrupted and...

What proposal? I never did find out. He put his arm around my shoulder… “You’re a very talented kid.” He shook my hand… “We’ll be talking very soon, you can bet on it.”

I’m glad I did not bet on it, because it was twenty-six years before we talked again. It was this past Sunday, here at Magicopolis, he shook my hand, and said, “I’m very pleased to meet you. Love your work, Stan.”
