I met Fred Astaire in a Waffle House... 2 years before he died. I said "You look just like Fred Astaire" He said "How do you know what those old men look like?" I mentioned several of his movies and we talked a little. He stated he was not Fred.
When he left, a limo picked him up out front and he had signed a used ticket stub from the gallery he went to that evening. He was very cool.
I was also good friends with an almost famous in Indiana - Henry Lee Summer. He had two top 40's and dropped out to playing local bars in Indiana after. But it was fun.
