When did actors start making personal appearences (as we know them today) ?

Because of all that I always wished that Buzz was the first.

Buzz knows how to be a proper hero and seems to be a very likeable guy.

Armstrong was the commander...Buzz the lunar pilot...no way the lead lets his chauffeur get the glory...lol.

You think Kirk would let Sulu go first?

The one thing this atmosphere does good is give old wash-up celebrities something to do and get pats on their backs from something they did 30+years ago.

Can you imagine Bella Lugosi in today's atmosphere -- compared to what he went through near the end of his life ?

He would be a God --- and there would not be a shortage of people reminding him

Image this atmosphere in the 50's when The Adventures of Superman was cancelled ... I'm pretty sure George Reeves would have been around for many many more years.

I could go on and on about all the old time beloved celebs that died never realizing how many people still loved them.

So true, and a beautifully symbiotic way to look at it.

Only if there was a line to jump into an active volcano.
