posted about these guys before but this thread is the perfect place for a repost
shane rimmer , shane was a lovely fella ,had a warmth about him that made you feel like you'd been pals for years
i used to see him a couple of times a year when stalling out on the memorabilia circuit in the uk
he had no airs or graces ,and i never saw him with a entourage ,and if hes wasn't booked by the organisers hed just book a table and drive down and set up ,ive had the pleasure of being next table and lugging his stuff in for him a couple of times
gave me a insight into his life and the true nature of celebrity through our conversations ,last time i saw him to talk to ,his son or son in law had just got him half a days work as the guy at the gotham city water station in batman beyond,sitting for half a day in a minimal set ,alone but for a minimal camera crew ,saying a couple of lines , no entourage ,no craft services no limo ,just a guy driving to work saying his stuff and driving home ,a real peek behind the curtain moment for me
van williams met mr Williams in florida back at a fx show in the early 90s ,spent a bit of time with him at the organisers Mike Hertzs home at a after show superbowl party ,not sure if he was messing with me ,the only english man in the room ,but he told me he walked away from hollywood and acting and joined the LAPD and was working as a detective at the time we met ,as i said not sure if he was pulling my p*sser or not : ,but i believed him and thought it was a great story and repeated it often
he was a lovely bloke a great story teller and good company
and as phil says "Caroline Munro-an extremely gracious lady and another person who truly appreciates her fans." shes lovely ,i often used to have the table next to her at shows and parked my car in the next space in the car park next to hers ,so we had plenty of time to chat and often had long conversations during the course of the weekend ,she has a daughter about the same age as my son chris ,so we,d talk about everything from her life in showbiz to kids, school ,and homework
