(32,324 posts)I was maybe eighteen months old, and my mom and I were heading across the train station in Chicago and someone in the film company pulled her away.
Otherwise Cary Grant would have walked by us and the encounter would have been filmed.
My mom didn't know what had happened, but then as she stopped to think about it, Cary Grant did walk by us, off camera at that point, and she exclaimed at me (not him) "There's Cary GRANT!!"
Calmly I replied, "Who he?" (I didn't fully talk yet.) In fact, I would know nothing about this experience, except my mom talked about it til the day she died.
Years later, I was filling in as a receptionist in Palo Alto and everyone in the office asked if I would mind waiting until 2 Pm to have lunch. I said, "No problem," and then they all scurried down the street to the Bar and Grill where Grant had been spotted eating lunch. He must have been eighty by then, but by all reports of those seeing him, he still looked great.
I loved the movie Breaking Away and also really enjoy Raising Arizona.
