I got asked out to dinner by Carol Channing. It was a case of mistaken identity though. True and amusing story; she was doing a show with Chita Rivera. A friend and I had been chatting with Chita, said goodnight and were on our way out when Carol walked over and grabbed my arm saying "You're coming to dinner with us, aren't you. You said you would. We're going to (whatever the name of the restaurant was, I don't recall). You can ride in my car if you want."
I told her that although having dinner with her would be an honor, she obviously was mistaking me for someone else. It turned out that because she was not wearing her glasses and can't see a damned thing without them, she thought I was one of Chita's dancers. She had me confused with a boy who was taller, darker, hotter and about ten years younger than me.
Oh yeah, Hugh calls my phone everynight and hangs up on me too. Don't think you're special, PJ. He does that to everyone.
